Three of Cold Harbour's four wins have come at this track and Evan Williams' charge can't be ignored back on a winning mark. Scotsbrook Cloud is gradually getting his act together over fences while Calusa Caldera is better than recent form figures suggest but Iron Man doesn't look the force of old and the handicapper hasn't done Tarvini any favours on his fencing bow. CULLAHILL was pulled up over 3m2f here last month but that was a rare failure for Bob Buckler's 10-year-old who now looks very well treated on last year's form - he's worth another chance.
