Make A Challenge and SPEAK IN COLOURS have identical records on the track, both having 4-7 strike-rates here. The latter has a penalty for a Group 2 success here in June but had his main rival almost 4 lengths behind that day and is expected to confirm the form. He also had Downforce just over a length behind in a Group 3 here in September though the latter had been beaten further by Make A Challenge either side of that event. Southern Horse, who looked suited to 7f at Cork last time, looks next best though he was 5 lengths behind Make A Challenge at Naas in June.
