CUZCO DU MATHAN has got back on track since the visor was applied, opening his chase account over C&D in July and matching that form when runner-up back here on Saturday. He holds solid claims turned out quickly. Fellow chase winner Forcing Bull has been given more of a break following his last run and he's feared, along with Supposedtobe, who remains open to improvement in this sphere.
