The veteran Confessional has won four times around here and though it's taken 23 runs to do it he's slipped to a low enough mark to make his presence felt again. Duke Of Firenze is presumably stopping off here on his way home from a moderate run at the Curragh on Thursday and though he'd been in very good form earlier he's never won in four starts around here. Boundary Lane is running well and only just failed at Haydock a week ago though could have done without a 3lb rise. SHE CAN BOOGIE (NAP) just failed to hold off stable companion Angel Alexander over the course and distance a fortnight ago. She was conceding 7lb and has since performed with credit in Listed company so can take her revenge on the revised terms. Third-placed Broken Spear is still looking a couple of pounds high but triple all-weather winner Global Tango has been showing tremendous pace over 6f and isn't out of this.
