ARMY MAN (5) is a talented gelding who was well held last time out in the tougher won by Greenwich Village over 1m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into seventh. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will give a great sight. THIRD BEER (3) is coming along nicely this prep. Finished fifth when fresh from a lay-off two starts back at Listed level at this track (Turf) then improved and scored as public elect over 1m at this track (Turf) five-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by half a length after being prominent at the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run. CHARLIE'S CURLIN (4) comes here fresh from an all-the-way win by 1. 3 lengths over this journey at this track (Turf) on February 22. Worth including. BUST OUT (1) is back from a lay-off of ten weeks. Closed last prep with a fifth, beaten 2. 25 lengths, over 6½f at this track. Strong top-three chance.
