Cyclical, Landucci make quick returns to the track and they may be the ones fight out the finish along with Katiypour. Of the three we will take a chance with the first named. Gerard Butler's four-year-old ran well at Kempton on Saturday behind the improving Special Lad. This contest looks slightly easier and if none the worse for that effort he should go close. Landucci was an impressive winner at Kempton last Friday, when beating October Ben by a length and a quarter. If in the same mood today he will be hard to beat. Katiypour did well on her last outing at Brighton in early August when chasing home the in form Bee Stinger. A similar effort today should see her involved in the finish. The pick of the rest could be Top Mark, but Cyclical is the one that gets our vote.
