There is nothing between Tomatin and Indicative on official ratings but the former has run poorly this season and David Wachman's filly looks to have the better chance. The daughter of Azamour ended the last campaign with an excellent second in a huge field at the Curragh and her three runs this season, especially her latest at Wexford last month, have suggested she should be winning soon. However, she may be up against a decent rival here in SWING PATTERN, who was fancied to make a belated winning debut at Killarney last month and though finding Photo Opportunity too strong did well enough to get the vote here. Jim Bolger's newcomer Eighteen Summers is related to plenty of winners and is one to note in the market.
