WELLMARKED has won twice on Polytrack at Wolverhampton and arrives here in top form with two fine recent efforts including a victory at Cork. He's up 6lb but should defy the extra under title-chasing Pat Smullen. Johnny Murtagh's presence on Stones Peak will ensure plenty of support and his mount doesn't have much to find with the selection on those two recent runs though he's never won on the surface. Tamujin improved when racing here for the first time behind Ashton Rose though that was over a mile while Style Majic did much better when dropped back to this trip at Listowel last time and has some improvement in her.
