FormscanBy Gary Carson - CLOSE ENOUGH may be able to turn the tables with Small Town Hero after losing out in a good duel here last time. The Yeats mare looked to have his measure turning for home then but the latter ground out victory in the closing stages to post a half-length victory as the pair pulled clear. Close Enough is 4lb better off now and gets the vote this time. Small Town Hero commands utmost respect and stays well so a strong pace will suit him. Corkbeg has won here previously and looks on a competitive mark. He could be place material.
