DANZOE added this to his dozen victories a year ago when run on Polytrack. He's already proved himself on the new surface and acts on any ground so looks well enough treated to score again. Your Gifted was two lengths behind him here last month and has won subsequently so is no better off at the weights. Pearl Noir has been racing over 6f since his victory over the course and distance and, as he's just 3lb higher, he must be respected. Dancing Juice has definitely improved since running moderately on the all-weather earlier this year and is on a handy mark, as is My Meteor on his good form during the summer. Tony Carroll had a double at Dundalk on Friday and First Rebellion has to be considered from a lowly spot in the handicap.
