A low-grade handicap and four of these were beaten favourites last time. They include Special Protector, who has never been as far as this on the Flat but has been staying on strongly over shorter and can't go any lower in the weights. The lightly-raced Grann's Boy is another who was well supported at Navan last time after a cracking effort at Down Royal but could only plug on at one pace. Katonah had every chance when disappointing at Bellewstown while the maiden Dubai Clover has better form over further. JAZZY ROCK (NAP) has gradually improved and shot clear at this trip when tackling 1m6f at Navan only to be caught close home. Although raised 4lb, Robert Whearty's claim takes care of the extra and she can go one better.
