Political Policy came here a week ago with a huge weight to carry and gained his third victory on the track for which he's been raised 6lb. Kodiak's Back was having only his fourth start on the surface when scoring here early last month. Runner-up PRETTY FAMOUS, who was making her all-weather debut, was conceding 3lb and only beaten a head so can take revenge on the revised terms and lose her maiden tag in the process. Jolyne looked a progressive type when scoring on fast going at Leopardstown and didn't appear at home on soft ground at Roscommon. Equation Of Time won at Leopardstown in August but is on an 8lb higher mark on his return to this surface and Lady Ranger has yet to make her mark in four visits to the track.
