C&D winner. First run since leaving A. McIntyre when creditable third of 14 in handicap (9/1) at Naas (5.9f, good to soft) 11 days ago, first home in group. 8 lb higher now back on the AW, but needs considering all the same.

16/1

Forecasts

Valiant Force (5/4), Little Queenie (5/1), I Bid You Ajou (5/1), Collective Power (7/1), Daamberdiplomat (15/2), Never Just A Dream (9/1), Genesis (12/1), Dark Ace (14/1), Agouti Bear (16/1), Catch The Paddy (16/1)

COLLECTIVE POWER hasn't been at his best on turf of late, but he's now 3 lb lower than when notching a third C&D success on his latest visit here during the spring and it could be that the return to this track will prompt a return to form. Genesis doesn't boast a particularly compelling strike rate and his current all-weather mark is a stiff one, but he's appealing nonetheless on the back of a solid stable debut third at Naas recently. Little Queenie and Valiant Force are others to consider.
