The assessor has raised Jeangeorges a massive 12lb for his very easy victory here last week and he's been well beaten off that mark in the past. Footprint's only placed effort on this track was in April and he's now 10lb higher and Manaaqeb went up 12lb for scoring at Leopardstown in May. Intyre Trail has struggled at the weights since his double in June while Queen Commander gained her first success in 20 starts on the sand at Laytown. Mount Abora generally performs with credit on the track and can be given a chance but it's KENTON STREET, who won over 7f here in December and has had little racing this summer, who arrives here fresher than most and looks well enough treated to double his winning tally.
