Fast pace assured with Notthesillyone, Bustling City and Speedy Smartie leading the charge. BUSTLING CITY (8) showed a clear liking for this surface when breaking through impressively at his first attempt. He won't get it all his own way this time with plenty of speed all around him, but he has plenty of scope, and can take the next step immediately. AURORA PATCH (1) returned with a strong third on turf here a fortnight ago after rolling forward and giving a great sight for a long way. The switch back to the all-weather won't bother him at all, and he gets a big swing in his draw this time. Hard to beat. MIGHTY COMMANDER (2) produced a big effort first-up, making ground into sixth after covering travelling wide throughout off a tough barrier. He maps to get a trip to suit him this time, and he can be right in the finish. PACKING KING (9) gets a nice draw for his all-weather debut and should enjoy a soft run. He has consistently trialled well on the surface and is capable of figuring in the top 4, so keep him safe.
