This looks better than the first division with several looking to hold decent chances. They definitely include CRESENDO, who was a little bit unlucky not to catch Twistsandturns over 6f last month and can go one better. Burren View Lady has a good all-weather record and won on the sand at Laytown in September, as did Emperor Bob and the latter ran well under a huge weight here last time. Lily's Prince failed to take advantage of a significant drop in the ratings last time though was only beaten half-a-length but Try Again's best recent run came on Tapeta at Wolverhampton.
