Queensbrydge has won twice on Polytrack in the UK but shot up the ratings as a consequence and faces a stiff task on her debut for new connections. Regular track winner Reckless Lad won a course and distance claimer a fortnight ago and found 6f too short in a similar contest last week while Coreczka has an outstanding record on the track and is only 2lb higher than when scoring here early last month. Honor Oak has won twice here and ran a fine race at Leopardstown last time and though Ishebayorgrey has slipped to a winnable mark he's never won over a trip this far. It's a year since Rosin Box had her only start on this track but she's been running really well on Turf and looks a threat to all though this can go to SETTLE FOR BAY, who showed his liking for the trip earlier this month and is still well handicapped.
