Separate Ways is in fine shape and wasn't beaten far in the Irish Cambridgeshire at the Curragh as he attempted a hat-trick but he's now on his highest-ever mark and Castle Bar Sling, a close third to him at Gowran last month, is weighted to turn the tables. If Per Chance is another on a career-high mark but would probably have been given a few pounds more if he had beaten Ballivor in a huge field at the Curragh last time where he was impeded at a crucial stage. Michael Halford has booked the same claimer for the ride and a big run is expected but HIGH VINTAGE is given the nod after being noted staying on after a slow start in that event. That was only her third start of the campaign and she can gain her second victory. Few Are Chosen likes plenty of give in the ground and would have a real chance if there is further rain.
