Majestic Timeline is returning to his best after a break and ran very well behind Strategic Heights a fortnight ago. He was earlier behind Kimbay but was having his first start since May and can reverse the form. National Service was a staying-on fourth in the former event and may prefer further. HI EMPRESS is still a maiden but not for long judged on her head defeat by Times In Anatefka a month ago when she was very unlucky in-running - she's taken to go one better. Kimbay has scored twice here recently with a victory at Limerick in between. She couldn't quite manage to peg back Serenity Spa over an extra furlong three weeks ago but had the worst of the draw and has to be a big threat to all. She holds Your Pal Tal on earlier form while Persian Caliph scored twice for Jessica Harrington last year, the latest from an 8lb higher mark than here. He's disappointed in three runs this term but, back on his favoured surface, can go well for new connections.
