AW profile is fairly uninspiring, well beaten over 5f here a week ago, this clearly a totally different challenge but hard to fancy against promising rivals.

Three-time C&D scorer, effort faded quickly at the 2f pole when last spotted over a month ago, eased home in last. Drops in trip and capable of having a say if he bounces back.

Off since recording back-to-back turf successes at the Curragh in the autumn, ran well sole previous try at this track over 7f a year ago, major player despite layoff.

Last win here came off a mark of 73 over 7f in April, was out of sorts when last spotted on turf in October and might well benefit from this run going up in trip.

5/4
Unbeaten in two starts, both here, easy winner of 7f handicap when last spotted in May. Has to prove fitness but eye-catching jockey booking suggests he'll be ready to go.

Forecasts

Another Story (5/4), Texas Rock (5/2), Red Avenger (3/1), Tribal Path (12/1), Bluesbreaker (16/1)

Verdict

The likely principles are both coming back from layoffs of differing lengths. Texas Rock scored a Curragh double before signing off last season and has run well on only previous try here but he may give best to ANOTHER STORY, who is two from two, both on the track. She easily scored on handicap debut last May over 7f and shouldn't be put out stepping up to the mile. Worries over fitness are eased by the jockey booking, which strongly suggests connections expect their charge to be ready and she can maintain her unbeaten record. Red Avenger has a decent record here if forgiven a poor effort last time while Tribal Path is also capable of collecting the minors.
