Scorpion Black finally delivered his first victory over this track and trip in June and ran a bit better than his finishing position suggests back here last month. PRIME CHIEF looks to be improving, however, and though unable to cope with the winner here three weeks ago gave notice of an imminent victory. Avalanche has won from higher marks in the past though is on a very long losing run but Highway To Heaven won easily over slightly further here before finding an 11lb rise too much to handle on a return visit. The Lady's Bid appeared to need every yard of 1m2f when scoring on fast ground at Navan while the maiden Loudest Whisper has also done better over further.
