The three-year-old Natty Dresser looks high in the weights and is still a maiden but Solomons Seal stayed on strongly to score over 7f here last week and is only 4lb higher. Previous winner Musical Jewel lost a lot of ground at the start in that event and the run is best ignored. ISHIGATI came from a long way back when beaten narrowly over 7f at Cork and today's extra furlong can see him go one better. Aubineau and Tuamhain weren't far behind in that latter event though both looked to have every chance but Hatton Cross has been running well all summer and will love the conditions. Villa Maria has yet to lose her maiden tag though it only looks only a matter of time and Colin Keane is on board for the first time.
