King Christophe, who has been hurdling, was having his first all-weather start here a week ago when runner-up to the in-form Super Focus. He's up 3lb but is still likely to go well though BOMBER JACKSON, who finished fourth, is taken to reverse the form and land this over a much more suitable distance. Temasek Star completed a double here in February and was having only his second subsequent run when performing with credit last month while Bulgadin Lady, a winner at the Curragh in September, has only had one run here in the past and doesn't look badly treated. Sixtyfiveroses is yet to win and has looked better over shorter but Shake The Bucket is a standing dish over the track and trip and just 3lb higher than his last victory in September.
