Roi De Dubai has won two and been very unlucky in another in his four starts during the summer, the only poor run coming when sent to Bangor. He's up 9lb but looks capable of even better. COOLDINE BOG followed his maiden victory at Kilbeggan by finishing a close second to Brex Drago on a return visit. The winner, who was receiving 6lb, has since completed a hat-trick and is rated 116 so Andy Slattery's charge looks very well in here on 112. The four-year-old Kuiper Belt was on a five-timer after victories on the Flat and over hurdles when disqualified after finishing first past in a lucrative Listowel handicap in his own age group. He has an obvious chance of getting back on the winning trail though this is tougher. One Cool Poet has been in consistent form on the Flat, Mister Butler will like the going more than most, and Our Rachael could return to form at any time off this lowly mark.
