HERALDIC had little difficulty holding off Bueller over slightly shorter here last month and though the latter was staying on at the finish the winner appeared to have a bit in hand and should confirm the form. Aslan, who finished fourth, had every chance and looks held. It wasn't the strongest of handicaps run here but Richard Mullen's mount arrives in top form and can go in again. Enery is a very consistent performer at this level who should be challenging for a place again but Georgetown hasn't won since 2013.
