Adrian Joyce trained both previous winners of this but Times In Anatefka is hard to fancy having her first start since June. CATWILLDO makes more appeal as she scored at Naas in July off a higher mark and Robbie Downey takes a further 3lb off her back today. Boughtforasong is also back on a winning mark while Cliffords Reprieve may do better now back over the minimum trip. A winner in Germany this year, The Art Of Racing has scored twice in the UK in the past and has his first start for new connections.
