Grace To Grace went up 11lb for an easy victory over the track and trip in October but has been running well from her raised mark, though she's been put up another 4lb for her latest run at Roscommon. She had El Tren five lengths behind that day and the latter gave the form a boost when scoring at Navan next time with the favourite Final Endeavour four lengths behind. Shumaker was on a hat-trick of Flat victories in that latter event but weakened quickly inside the final furlong so this can go to HARVEY SPECTER. Dylan Browne McMonagle was on board when the seven-year-old won a Killarney handicap and again at Down Royal last week when his mount didn't get the clearest of runs. Allora Yeats, a dual winner in July, has a fine chance on her second to Dark Voyager at the Festival and may have found the ground too quick at Leopardstown last time.
