Al Barez has been off the track since winning at Doncaster at this time last year and has undergone a wind operation subsequently. Isle Of Lismore could go well on his return having won on the July course here back in August while Dream Composer drops back down to the minimum trip after a moderate effort at Doncaster. EY UP IT’S MAGGIE was upped in class last time but scored on soft ground in this grade at Doncaster before that and is reunited with wining partner Billy Loughnane today. Lihou has been in good form on the all-weather and is preferred to Mokaatil of the remainder.
