COEUR D'OR was returning from a 4-month break when a close second to Sirjack Thomas over a mile at the Curragh recently and is taken to reverse the placings with that rival here. Dermot Weld's charge enjoys a 3 lb pull with the winner and shapes as though this slight step back up in trip will be in his favour. Independent Expert has put in good shifts on her last 2 starts and is likely to be in the thick of things, while the lightly-raced Malabu Drive is also shortlisted.
