SWEET DIME was having only her second start on the track when gaining a shock victory three weeks ago. She's up 7lb but a similar effort would see her difficult to beat.

Upgraded scored over 2m at Galway in July and may find this on the short side but Act Of God won over the trip at Tramore in August.
