MULLACASH BUZZ ran one of his best turf races for a while when second at Gowran Park in July and has previously shown his best form on the all-weather. He should be suited by this test and can capitalise on his basement mark, while Rock Etoile remains interesting at this level and could be the main danger if the market speaks in his favour. Punk Poet won this race in 2023 and finished third here last year and could well bounce back to form.
