Ever Rock has managed to win seven races including here and at Navan last time though he's now on his highest-ever mark. He had just over two lengths to spare over Inventor at Fairyhouse in May and there's very little between them on the revised terms. SHOEBOX KING had been narrowly beaten twice before a breakthrough victory at Down Royal. He's up 4lb but Jake Coen has been booked with his 7lb claim so he's looking very well handicapped. Aurora Nova, unlucky in-running at Down Royal early last month, then led for most of the way on a return visit and makes her handicap debut on a low enough mark. Swift Flight was in fine form on testing ground at this time a year ago and the assessor has given him a chance with a 5lb drop.
