Sarah Park was in good form on turf when last seen but Brian Meehan's filly has yet to prove that she is as effective on the Polytrack so she looks best watched in a race taken to go to PHA MAI BLUE, who is preferred to Magic Rush. Norma Twomey's gelding has done better back on the flat of late after some disappointing efforts over hurdles but he has harshly been raised 5lbs for his most recent effort and may be booked for a place at best again. Highland Harvest did not run up to his best at Ascot last time and may do better back on the Polytrack, while I Confess has yet to prove that he stays this far. Uncle Fred is less exposed than most of these after just three starts and could be well treated for his handicap debut but a safer option looks to be Pha Mai Blue. Jim Boyle's gelding was good value for his win over course and distance earlier this month he is taken to defy the 4lb rise for that success.
