DECORATION (2) wasn't disgraced in city class last time when finishing fifth at Ascot. Will find this much easier. Among the leading chances in this company. OUTSPOKEN LAD (1) was quickly into stride over 1m at Northam last time and defied all challengers to score by a nose. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to take this out. COMEALILBITCLOSER (6) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just three wins from 65 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1m3f at Ascot, beaten 4.5 lengths. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. TRULY RELIABLE (7) settled well back and failed to come on last start when ninth over 1m at Northam at his first run back from a break. Solid contender in this line up.
