My Friday Beau to take up the running with Topmost and Puissance Power close at hand. Tough race and worth noting three of them return as geldings. DEMIQUAVER (9) looks nicely placed here. Found the trip too sharp fresh then out to this journey last time improved sharply, beaten a head. Doesn't have to improve much to take this out and has the claim and a good draw. TOPMOST (8) has started just twice and paced at both, the latest not far from the winner. Has upside and is expected to feature again. MY FRIDAY BEAU (5) has placed 3/4 starts so far including only try fresh. Returns here on the back of three hit-outs and expected to feature. LAVA DELTA (11) was a close-up fifth fresh just nabbed late last time. Will take catching again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Demiquaver looks ready.
