TOP DIVISION (4th) and stablemate BANYAN (3rd) are closely matched on the form of a recent 1000m meeting at a higher level. The former has a bit to find on that form but is weighted to turn the tables on 0.5kg better terms. ABOUND didn't go unnoticed behind those rivals and should have a say in the outcome too. TWENTYTWENTYVISION had legitimate excuses for a disappointing last start but, on the strength and consistency of his earlier form, will be more competitive with blinkers refitted. Hat-trick seeking OLD FASHIONED and lightly raced ONE TIGER complete the shortlist.
