Boom Boom Boom has never run here but scored from a 4lb higher mark at Navan in July. Lariat doesn't win often but is generally thereabouts unlike Contrapposto, who has never run on the all-weather and is 1-43 on the Flat and over hurdles on Turf. DRAGON ROLL (NAP) was having only her fourth start here when scoring over the extended 1m2f last month where she was going away at the finish. She'll have no problems with the extra and a 6lb rise looks manageable. Dr Patrick has been going well but hasn't proved he stays this far and has had plenty of chances.
