This doesn't look the easiest of races for a four-year-old and though Swamp Fox has the potential to go higher he faces a very stiff challenge against in-form rivals. Uaintseenothingyet also makes his handicap debut after just three starts, though he's looked a smart prospect and shouldn't be inconvenienced dropping back in trip after scoring over 2m4f at Fairyhouse. Angus Milan's only defeat in three came when tackling further but Competitive Edge has failed to take advantage of a very lenient mark compared to his chase rating on a couple of occasions. Mr Cosmopolitan battled to victory over the track and trip fortnight ago and a 5lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run though COURT CHALLENGE looks the one to be on. She won a handicap at Gowran over this trip before finding 2m4f just beyond her at Fairyhouse where she was only headed at the last. Ice Cool couldn't quite complete a hat-trick at Gowran and is up another 4lb but still looks capable of further improvement so should be thereabouts.
