Dew Line did very well to make most from a poor draw here a fortnight ago and though 5lb higher likes the uphill finish here and should go well again. She holds Cocoon, Cheval Rouge and The Nutcracker on that run though the latter started favourite following an easy victory over the track and trip previously. Jim Bolger runs both RINGSIDE HUMOUR, a good second at Cork on Saturday and better over this longer trip, and the lightly-raced Vintage Charm, who ran her best race for a while at the Curragh last time. The former just gets the vote as he just has the edge over Antique Platinum on their run here last month. Avizare looks best of the remainder as she faded over 1m4f at Cork last time after travelling well to this trip.
