11/2

Winner at Leopardstown in June. 5/2, good second of 9 in handicap at this course (12f, good) 22 days ago, barely adequate test. Minor place money may be his best hope in this contest.

20/1

Two wins from 4 runs this year. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at this C&D (soft, 11/4) 56 days ago by 2¼ lengths from Glen To Glen, suited by increase in trip. This is tougher up 7 lb.

CROWN OF OAKS has been hugely impressive since stepping up to 10f, bolting up by 6½ lengths at Ascot 8 days ago and looks capable of defying a penalty here. Sujet is another progressive sort who won a conditions race at Killarney last time and should appreciate this step up in trip. Course winner State Actor kept on well when fifth here over a mile recently and he is third choice, while Tony Montana also makes some each-way appeal.
