Verdict
Safe Voyage isn’t getting any younger and Jason Hart deserts the top weight in favour of the four-year-old TITAN ROCK (NAP). Just caught by Fools Rush In in this race 12 months ago, John Quinn’s charge is 5lb better off and has been running better than form figures would suggest this year. He also has a decent draw while his old rival will start from the outside. Boardman was only fourth last year and is 4lb higher in the weights but On A Session arrives in good form having found only one too good in a big field at Galway last time and the three-year-old Positive Impact is well drawn in stall two. Bullace has been showing signs of life lately and has the inside berth but Cassy O has disappointed since making all at Redcar in June.
