Plenty of pressure on from the outset. Looks a great chance for REGULATION (2)to bring up a winning hat-trick. Has won last two finishing on hard and has won 2/3 this course and distance. Excels this circuit and expected to go close again. NATIVE RULER (1) wasn't far away in Grade 2 company latest and fitter again for the longer trip. Has been competitive at the top level and looks a strong winning hope. MAJOR MASTER (10) went close last time behind Regulation but meets him slightly worse at weights. At top now though and looks a leading player again. OKAVANGO (7) was Grade 1 placed three back and does go well here. Among the main contenders.
