Bathwick Xaara has been raised just 2lb for beating Memphis Man at Goodwood which isn't surprising as that was a moderate contest in which Gracie's Games was beaten just over three lengths. Dream Number is capable of winning from this mark but she hasn't been in the best of form since scoring on Polytrack in march. JOHNSTOWN LAD won off a 10lb higher mark at Dundalk a year ago and Kieren Fallon's booking for the Irish raider suggests connections mean business and this won't take much winning. Madame Kintyre is just 1lb higher than when successful at Bath in June
