Tynamite and Eacharn have each won three times around here though have taken 51 runs between them to do so. The former enters the fray in much the better form having scored over 6f last time though was beaten a length behind Indiana Grey over this trip earlier and is no better off. The latter went up 6lb for that victory and couldn't quite hold Sunset Nova next time so an extra 3lb isn't in her favour. Caesar's Comet has dropped to a winnable mark despite being 0-17 on the all-weather and Colin Keane is a notable booking but this can go to FOREIGN LEGION (NAP). Four-times an all-weather winner in the UK, and on turf at Listowel in September, he gave Sunset Nova 9lb and a beating here last month and can defy a 4lb rise.
