SALOON BAR (5) resumes in a similar race to his last run ten weeks ago when fourth, beaten 0.9 lengths. Has found the right race. BOOTS LIKE BRUCE (7) has returned in good shape this campaign. Opened with a second at this track two starts back then scored by a neck as favourite last time out over 6f at this track. Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of running another bold race. Group 3 placegetter MAN CRUSH (3) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second when resuming last start over 5f in the LR Beaufine Sprint at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. VAST ART (13) returns from a layoff of six-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 7f at Ascot. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
