ANOTHER CRICK won this off a higher mark last year and, while he's been operating below his best lately, he has blinkers fitted now and a bold showing is anticipated. Desque de L'Isle is an obvious player bidding for the hat-trick and Native Robin, who goes really well at this track, is worthy of a mention despite a couple of tame finishing efforts so far this term.
