Shanroe won this last year before running well in the Ebor but hasn’t raced since October while Micro Manage hasn’t won a handicap for some time but Ryan Moore takes over the reins for this. Phoenix Cowboy ran well on his reappearance though was beaten by Powerful Aggie at Leopardstown last autumn while Dame Rapide bids for a hat-trick raised 13lb for winning over track and trip with a below par Moon Daisy behind. The Names Jock beat Distant Chimes over 1m4f recently while Earl Of Tyrone has been raised 8lb for winning a maiden race and the unexposed KAZAKDARIA makes her seasonal debut. But Dermot Weld will likely have the latter ready for action and she gave the impression this longer trip would suit when fourth here on her handicap debut.
