STATIC JACK won a more competitive race over course and distance last month and Gavin Cromwell’s charge should make another bold bid despite a rise in the weights. Celtic Dancer has been winning lower grade contests at Limerick and is 12lb higher today while Party Playboy has been running well on the Flat since scoring over timber at Down Royal in June but races off a 9lb higher mark here. Neverushacon, Spades Are Trumps and Mitchouka failed to figure in better company at Galway last time and Line Out is upped in trip after placing over 2m1f here last month. Air Supremacy and Suinda represent powerful yards but both struggled last time and the former is fitted with a tongue-tie for the first time.
