CRITICAL IMAGE (8) recorded a strong performance on Tuesday when he battled on bravely for second in his first visit to this venue. Won't spend a penny from this draw. Big chance to go one better. RUN MASON RUN (2) comes here just a couple of days after finishing third at this circuit and distance. Gets the same draw again so looks the most likely danger. BENSON DUDE (1) has come from much wider barriers in the last two outings so could be an improver from the ace draw. ESTER LUCY (5) wasn't too far from the placegetters on Tuesday and returns to the front row.
