Bond Street provides Ryan Moore with yet another chance on the card having run really well on heavy going here two weeks ago. Band of Outlaws was attempting to concede Caffe Macchiato 8lb when beaten over 3l at Navan and the winner went on to run well in a very strong handicap at Chester where the track didn't suit. Joseph O'Brien is also represented by Medal Of Honour, who lost his maiden tag at the eleventh time of asking at Dundalk. ROCK SOUND was well supported at Limerick and though not winning by far always looked like getting on top on ground that probably didn't suit. He hasn't been overburdened with a mark of 78 and can remain unbeaten. Masucci just got up over 7f at Dundalk and should be much better suited by the extra here.
