Trotting Weasel has run 45 times but only twice at this trip when he's been well beaten. Liberty To Rock won here in November but was around two lengths behind LILY'S STAR on a return visit the following month. The latter was noted staying on well over 7f last time and, back to her best trip, can regain the winning thread. Awareness was behind Liberty To Rock when last seen but that was her debut on the surface and she's expected to improve. Cailin Coillteach is another who was racing over a trip too short last time and, as she is very lightly raced, is expected to reach a place here at least. Heir To The Mint is gradually dropping down the weights and showed a bit more promise here last month.
