Blairs Cove was second here back in April and has won twice since at Warwick but he faces no easy task under his penalties, though has yet to finish out of the first two over timber. Its All Guesswork has kept decent company since winning a Bellewstown maiden while Treackle Tart made an impressive return to action. Jabulani should be winning soon but, like Shadow's Boy, may need his sights lowering. BRILLARE MOMENTO needs forgiving a disappointing run at Newton Abbot when last seen but had won a Listed contest on this track earlier and is the best of these on that form.
