Ger Lyons has won the last two of these and Colin Keane's presence suggests Redressed, who has had a light campaign, will come out best of his pair. Joseph O'Brien has five entries with Dancing Tango and Goodie Two Shoes both rated 100. The latter won over timber earlier this month but the former may have the edge on the level. SNOWCAPPED has been racing on quicker terrain since completing a double on softer going earlier in the season. She has a similar profile to Azazat, who looks a threat, while the Channon yard send the unexposed Gather Ye Rosebuds from the UK and both of her victories have come on ground with plenty of give.
