Tawaazon was having his 19th start when getting off the mark in a course and distance claimer then followed up over 7f a week ago for which he's up 4lb. Jered Maddox beat him narrowly here in February when conceding 7lb, as he will be here with Sean Bowen's claim taken into account. He ran very well at the Curragh on his latest start in June but might just need this after a break. KUWAIT DIRECTION won here two years ago and gained his first subsequent victory at Fairyhouse last month when Inishmot Prince was behind. Pillar won this in 2020 and is very closely matched with Tai Sing Yeh on their 1-2 here in February but Jazzy Dancer has only won over 5f on Turf.
