Outspoken Lad and Decoration to take up the running at a strong tempo. The York Cup for 2024 and DECORATION (2) looks the one to beat. He maps for a lovely run under Tash Faithfull following some very strong efforts in Saturday grade of late. He has a nice profile for a race like this and if he can run up to his recent form, he should be getting the job done. OUTSPOKEN LAD (1) got the job done at Northam last start in a CL5 and steps out in trip again now. That won't be an issue with some strong ratings at Belmont in Saturday company last campaign over 2000m or further. Can dictate from the front and leave his rivals in his wake. COMEALILBITCLOSER (6) couldn't reel in the winner last start at Ascot, though he turned in a strong effort there. Been a while between drinks but he looks well placed in this event and won't be far away. TONI'S SPIRIT (3) can improve again now third-up and is a track and trip winner previously. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Decoration in the York Cup.
