Pivotal Rock is the only one of these to have won on the track and he likes Polytrack so has to be a threat to all. The veteran TOUFAN EXPRESS has only won once on Polytrack in 23 starts but is a prolific winner on Turf and his overall form this summer gives him the edge here. Auden won a claimer at Sligo in June but over a much longer trip so Esytopolishadimond looks more of a threat as he's been confined to Polytrack for a very long time and scored twice at Dundalk over a mile in March. Like Magic has never won on an artificial surface but has gone close and he'll enjoy this trip better than most.
