Pinball Wizard won three of his last four starts in the UK for Clive Cox, all at Kempton. He makes his debut for new connections under a 10lb claimer so should get into contention. Arcanears gained his fourth track victory last month then just failed to take advantage of a much lower mark on the beach at Laytown when half-a-length behind EL PADRE. The winner, who has few miles on the clock for his age, will be 6lb better off on his track debut and can confirm the form and complete a double. Meishar gained his third track victory of the year a couple of weeks ago though a 6lb rise makes this tougher while Dilawara's recent Leopardstown victory was over 7f and she ran in a Listed contest over a mile here last time. Abeona beat a huge field in a Curragh maiden back in April but has changed trainers for the fourth time.
