Tooreen Legend has won three times around here but hasn't run since landing a handicap on the track three years ago and will surely need this. COMMANDER WON has won four times here and very nearly added to the collection last month when just failing to concede 4lb to Echo Park. He's only 1lb higher and looks capable of returning to winning ways. New Direction has a very good record and likes it around here though he's possibly better over slightly shorter while St Lawrence Gap enjoys some cut in the ground on Turf and hasn't won around here. Kerosin has been well beaten over hurdles since finishing runner-up at the Curragh in June and has changed stables.
