ASTROPHYSICS is the most consistent of these and beat a subsequent winner when scoring over track and trip on his first outing since July. The veteran can confirm running with Twilight Mischief and can go in again. Big Impact won here last month and is closely matched with You're Cool on form over the minimum trip since while Peachey Carnehan pops-up when in the mood and did so over course and distance last week. Bomb Squad is a rare winner but looks best of the rest.
