Specific Gravity has the call on official ratings having won a strong handicap here in February though he's been beaten twice at this level recently and also over hurdles last week. It isn't long ago that Seanie was rated in the 100's but he's been running poorly including in a Fairyhouse claimer last time when Burn The Boats finished just in front and VOCAL ACTIVITY (NAP) was runner-up. The latter was having only his fourth start and led for most of the way so this looks an ideal opportunity to get off the mark. Six Silver Lane loves it around here and was running well in handicaps in the spring though over further.
Burn The Boats (IRE) 11-2 (9-9) Soon towards rear, closer in 8th approaching straight, chased leaders and one pace final furlong, 5th of 14, 7 1/2l behind Palavicini Run (9-10) at Fairyhouse 7f gd in Jul.
Seanie (IRE) 13-2 (10-3) Prominent, soon 3rd, no extra and one pace final furlong, 7th of 14, 8 1/4l behind Palavicini Run (9-10) at Fairyhouse 7f gd in Jul.
Specific Gravity (FR) 25-1 (10-10) Towards rear for most, ridden and no impression 3 out, 12th of 16, 19 1/4l behind Stormey (11-12) at Bellewstown 2m 1f hcp gd in Jul.
Comeragh Vale (IRE) 33-1 (10-2) Awkward leaving stalls and very slowly into stride, raced in detached rear, no headway, never a factor, last of 7, dist behind Spanish Steps (9-5) at Gowran Park 1m 1f mdn gd in Jun.
Reddot Express 20-1 (9-9) Soon tracked leaders, lost place and no extra 2f out, soon eased, last of 16, 31 3/4l behind Not A Bad Oul Day (10-0) at Limerick 1m hcp gf in Jun.
Six Silver Lane 13-2 (9-7) Mid-division, headway over 2f out, ridden and every chance over 1f out, kept on same pace, 4th of 10, 7 1/2l behind Visitant (9-7) at Ayr 1m 2f hcp (6) gf in May.

What About Bob (IRE) 16-1 (9-0) In rear, 13th 4f out, ridden and some headway to 10th 1 1/2f out, soon short of room, kept on final furlong, no threat, 9th of 15, 10 1/2l behind Level Of Intensity (9-5) at Gowran Park 1m 1f hcp gd in Jul.
