Al Erayg made all to score over the trip at Newcastle early this month, with Sligo Six six lengths behind, and a 3lb rise is unlikely to prevent another big effort. Hesslewood just failed to catch Hayadh at Beverley and, though 4lb higher, James Bethell puts up a 7lb claimer. Dawaaleeb came with a late burst to score at Newcastle in March and, though 2lb higher, has won from a higher mark over the track and trip so should get into contention. The veteran BARAWEEZ is a specialist at the Galway Festival though didn't perform up to his usual standard there last season. However, he ran in much stronger company than this and has dropped to his lowest mark since 2014 so gets a speculative vote to turn back the clock.
