Apache Gold always goes well here but rarely runs over the minimum trip nowadays. Enter The Red, who won this in 2013, scored over 7f in August and had the pace to win over this course and distance last month. Little Sweetheart has dropped to a very fair mark if at her best and she only just failed to make all at Navan last time. Suburban Sky has only won once - here just over a year ago - but she's running well enough to be a threat from her lowly mark. CLEAR FOCUS was disqualified after finish first past the post at the Curragh on Tuesday. That would have been just her second victory in 31 starts but she has to be the selection here from the same mark as she's certain to go up in the ratings. Sweetest Taboo looks a threat as she can race from a 2lb lower mark than when runner-up to Captain Cullen at the Curragh on Tuesday.
