Collingwood landed this a year ago but is 11lb higher here and hasn't scored since though he was in front of Snaefell at Galway last time. SEEHARN has her first start in a handicap having competed exclusively at Group level since landing a Listed race at the Curragh last June. She's not exactly well treated but has enough class to see her home. Still Point looks the obvious threat after his excellent run behind Iron Major at Galway where he was going on strongly at the finish. Bold Thady Quill won over 1m1f at Cork in June and may find this on the short side while Star Links ran poorly over this trip at the Curragh on Sunday after landing a Naas handicap over a mile. Solent Ridge is very consistent and almost guaranteed to run his race.
