Voyageofdiscovery completed a double around this time a year ago and is 8lb lower than his last victory. Tom Madden is a positive booking and a big run is expected. Ishigati hasn't run since May when staying on over 6f here though should be winning soon but TUAMHAIN looks another for Joseph O'Brien. She was having only her second start for the yard when running really well at Naas and a mark of 53 looks there to be exploited. Paddytheirishman finished runner-up in a division of the same race but a career strike-rate of 0-24 doesn't inspire confidence. Stormy Air came here last week and landed a handicap over an extended mile. He took up the running at this trip so dropping down won't be a problem. Guanabara Bay, who is well handicapped, could only finish fourth in the latter race though is better at this trip.
