Strong tempo assured from Arduous and Cheerful Cat leading the charge. FIFTY CALIBRE (1) got the job done over this course and distance last time out and winning hoop Guthmann-Chester sticks in the stirrups. Maps ideally for this from gate six and should make his presence felt again. INSIDE PASSAGE (6) has placed three of four around this circuit and will be cherry-ripe for this fourth run back. Don't dismiss lightly. CHEERFUL CAT (12) is drawn to get a cosy run in transit from the inside marble and can play a role in the finish. BETTER DRAW (5) best of the rest with the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fifty Calibre to go back-to-back.
