TOP ORDER (8) beaten as favourite last start, draws to get space to muster forward from the wide alley and will be hard to beat with a clean jump now. FATHER TOM (6) went well last start and continues to improve, should be up on the pace early. CURRICULUM (4) needs luck initially but goes quickly mid race. CELEBRATE (3) won't be far away here.

Comment:Racing in tidy fashion around Grafton of late. This looks a bit tougher than that, does draw well though. Might be able to pinch some minor money.
