ON THE CUSP was beaten only a short-head over 1m3f in a similar contest on his penultimate start. A repeat should be enough to get his head in front today. Dontpaytheferryman is getting no closer despite tumbling down the weights and is dropped in class for this. The inconsistent Layla's Boy could figure if on a going day while Miss Ella Jade was placed over track and trip in November but finished well behind the selection last time.
