Scorpion Black is a Gowran specialist and won there again last week for which a 3lb rise doesn't look excessive. RUDISHA (NAP) also ran at that same fixture, staying on strongly over 7f, suggesting her time was close over this longer trip so she gets the nod. Miracles In May looks a real threat as he is only 2lb higher than his victory at Naas in April and looked on the way back with a very good run over this track and trip last month. Procurator is 1lb lower than when successful at Roscommon in July and Tom Madden's claim will aid his cause.
