Several smart prospects square off and while STICKTOTHEPLAN has to concede 5 lb all round, he created a very good impression when a winner at this level for his new yard last month so he may well be up to the challenge. Above-average improvement is surely forthcoming from Double Measure, while Masked Man is useful in his own right.
