ADNAP has improved out of all recognition since tackling this track and trip, completing a double and only just failing to defy an 8lb rise on his hat-trick bid. He may have another victory in him before the assessor has his say again. Punk Poet had been beaten 2 lengths behind Leabaland here last month but it was a different matter ten days ago when he had 6 lengths to spare over that rival. Nor surprisingly he's been raised 14lb but is still likely to take a hand. Dundory will be making his all-weather debut after a short-head victory on heavy going at the Curragh for which he's been raised 7lb. Winner Takes Itall ran well over hurdles last time which is where his future lies but stable companion Memyselfandmoi will find this less demanding than the Listed race she ran in here last time.
