Joseph O'Brien was on board when Copper Dock won over 5f here a fortnight ago, coming with a late burst to snatch the spoils on the line. His mount is even better over this trip and will take some beating but MCMONAGLE, who was in front of him on his previous start, looks ready to win again and gets the nod in an open contest. Enigma Code made all to beat He's Got Rhythm here last month but is probably better over an extra furlong while Almadaa, An Saighdiur, the veteran Richelieu and Tsar Paul are all very closely connected on recent form.
