Big Gossey is best known for his exploits over 6f at the Curragh though he's won over this track and trip. He had THE HIGHWAY RAT over three lengths behind at the Curragh last month but the latter is much better over this trip and around here so looks the one to beat. Harry's Bar has won half of his 14 races here and is greatly respected while the three-year-old Hispanic ran in a Longchamp Group 3 after winning a 6f handicap here in August.
