Verdict

Tony The Gent's last victory was in a controversial claimer here in February over his then stablemate Yuften. He appears to have improved for a change of surroundings and Paddy Harnett's 7lb claim is a massive bonus. Emphatic didn't win in 19 starts on Turf but has won three of his last four here. He had a bit in hand last time so a 6lb rise doesn't look excessive. DARK MAGIC has finished runner-up four times before gaining only his second victory in 17 starts here last week. That looked a strong contest so a 7lb hike may not prevent a follow-up. Tyrconnell is 2-22 around here and has never won over the trip but he's been staying on over 7f recently so is greatly respected. The maiden Gonna Dancealot has moved from the UK and may just need the run.
