Tom Dooley has been transformed by a change of stables and is going for a four-timer though he's 20lb higher than when his winning run began. Cappadocia reverted to this trip here last month and came with a late run to catch Bien Chase close home but he's gone up 7lb and this is tougher. ARBOURFIELD is another who has been climbing the weights though he's better handicapped than on the all-weather as he hasn't won on Turf. Pat Smullen was on board when he won at Dundalk in April and can steer him to another victory. Vocal Activity hasn't had much racing and makes his handicap debut from a lowly mark while Breezolini ran very well at Gowran last time and should be winning again soon. Botanical Lady is consistent at this level on good ground and should get into the action again.
