CURZON STREET is one win from three starts at this venue and for whatever reasons wasn't able to show his best form here last time. The seven-year-old dotted up in a similar claimer two starts back, though, and very much sets the standard. Big Shots Humor is closely matched and joins Aniar on the shortlist.
