PAYMENT PLAN (3) never threatened last time when seventh over 3300m at Newcastle All Weather. Freshened up and coming back in trip. Key runner on his best efforts. STAR LEGEND (1) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 33 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 2800m at Southwell All Weather, beaten 6 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run. BLUE SKY BOY (2) was well supported last time out but after being in contention on the turn disappointed in finishing sixth over 3300m at Southwell All Weather, beaten 9 lengths. Expected to feature in the finish this time. THE COLORIST (4) finished second at Kempton Park All Weather two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 3200m at Kempton Park All Weather, finishing 12 lengths back in seventh. Has his share of ability and can do a lot better.
