Handytalk wasn’t beaten far over the trip at Windsor but ENTHAAR found 5f too sharp when fourth at the same course. Stuart Williams’ gelding still finished ahead of Smokey Lane and Big Lachie and it would be no surprise to see him record a first victory on Turf here. Zeyzoun didn’t win last year but was rarely beaten far, though was behind Firmdecisions over 7f here in June. Last Page is tried in a hood after a slightly below-par effort last time and could also figure but Kraka has been plying his trade at a lowly level on the all-weather.
