A battle of the course specialists with Rocky Dreams leading the way having gained his sixth victory in a claimer last month. Jered Maddox is a five-times winner though he's been looking a few pounds high since his victory in February. Inishmot Prince has won the same number and is just 3lb higher than his last success in December and though Collective Power has only won twice here he's very consistent and has been beaten by the in-form Tawaazon the last twice. MIGHT AND MERCY was having only his third start here when scoring narrowly at the beginning of last month. Colin Keane appeared to have a bit up his sleeve that day so a 6lb rise looks manageable.
