Formscan  - The Real Whacker won this in 2024 so the track and trip obviously hold no fears, and the 10-year-old arrives in fine fettle having scored last time out at Perth. Pic D'Orhy is the best here according to official ratings but his four starts last season failed to yield a success, although his second in this contest last year stands out. With all that in mind, TWINJETS is preferred. Campaigned with plenty of success over shorter of late, he is back up to 3m which will hopefully bring further improvement.
