ST BRELADES BAY has only won twice in 20 starts but does better when stepped up to this trip as he proved at the Curragh behind the in-form Silverkode. He's up 2lb but can go one better at the expense of the lightly-raced and consistent Pure Action, who hasn't been beaten far in any of his races without quite finding a finishing burst. Tennesse Waltz has been running well though he's better on the all-weather as is Lily's Prince these days, though the latter has won over 6f here and will enjoy the fast conditions. Arbourfield has a career strike-rate of 5-22 though all of his victories have been on the all-weather.
