Green To Gold was a disappointment when strongly fancied at Leopardstown on Thursday but this is a more suitable trip. Brabazon loves Polytrack and has won four times on the surface and may not be done with yet, despite a leap in the ratings. Gargano tackles the trip for the first time but the further the better for Elyaadi, who found only Swingkeel too strong in the 2m6f Queen Alexandra Stakes at Ascot. End Of The Affair is running well enough to be a threat but Asiya has an 8lb rise to contend with after her success at Tipperary. ISABELLAREINE gets the nod in an open contest as she likes it around here and has no problems with the trip as she showed when beating a big field at Galway last July.
