Shatharaat, a winner on testing going at Listowel a year ago, gave notice of an imminent victory when narrowly beaten on soft ground at Gowran last month and should make a bold bid to defy a 3lb rise. Spanish Tenor hasn't won since 2017 but has slowly dropped to a winnable mark and showed a bit more dash at Gowran last time. ERICH BLOCH (NAP) makes a quick reappearance after a decent run at the Curragh on Friday, his first start since May. He didn't quite get the run of the race and won't mind the conditions so looks the one to be on. Vocatus also ran at the same fixture and is looking well handicapped these day while Elleanthus gained her only victory on heavy going at Galway a year ago. Canary Row is 3lb lower than when scoring at Galway in October, though could find this on the short side.
