Three Sea Captains beat Boston Rocker over 5f in a Listed race at the Curragh last month but he has been beaten in three starts over 6f and this extra furlong is unknown territory. Conceding weight all round, he may be vulnerable. Stablemate Royal Empress has been knocking on the door but is still a maiden and Thunder Mountain is tried in blinkers after only beating one home in a Listed contest over a mile at Leopardstown. TIPPING OVER has run in France and Germany since winning her maiden at Newmarket in June. Hugo Palmer's filly is holding her form well, however, and shouldn't be far away on these terms. She's much preferred to fellow British raider Sylvia Pankhurst while Chips Are Down looks to have plenty to find at the weights, though Lady Gosford could be interesting if the form of her Naas win in July.
