EL ASTNO EL BUCHAN (5) has a moderate winning strike-rate but impressed when returning from a break last time at this track (Dirt), finishing third and only 1.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 366m. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. JR PAY THE MAN (6) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was beaten 1.4 lengths into fourth over 320m at this track. Strips fitter and can feature. APOLLITICAL SIGNS (1) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when ninth, beaten 6 lengths, over 366m at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. HIGH TALES IT (2) ran below expectations last start, finishing fifth and beaten 0.9 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 320m. Deserves another chance.
