Shabra Emperor, who had been racing over much further, appeared to enjoy stepping down to 7f last week but has no problems with tonight's trip though he's now on a high enough mark. He was just in front of Gold Falcon previously and the latter should have the better of the argument this time at the revised weights. Cheers Buddy has been unable to cope with the weight rise after completing a double at the backend of last year but Sean Corby's claim can help him get back on track. Lily's Prince went up 7lb for last month's victory over 7f and that stopped him in his tracks but Gary Philips is back on board and the combination will be difficult to beat. SIX SILVER LANE won four races in Ireland for Joanna Morgan before heading for the UK where he failed to score. His last victory on the sand at Laytown was from a rating of 76 and he's with the right man to exploit tonight's 26lb lower mark. Trans City ran his best race for a long time three weeks ago but is still a maiden on the all-weather after 15 starts.
