Verdict

What About Bob took advantage of very heavy conditions to gain a shock victory over 7f at Gowran last month. He's up 5lb and faces an artificial surface for the first time so this looks more difficult. Bouquet Garni was just over two lengths behind in third and, though very consistent on Turf, is another making her debut on Polytrack. TWIST OF MAGIC (NAP) reverts to 6f for the first time since her debut in July. She's been setting a scorching pace in her races and was only caught in the closing stages over 7f here last time so should be capable of hanging on. Hyzenthlay hasn't had much experience and has raced in better company since making a successful debut at Navan in April so has the scope to do better and looks a threat.
