The versatile Shake The Bucket has a fine record on the track and will have found 1m2f too short here last week despite starting favourite. My Manekineko has won just once in 18 all-weather starts and that was over two miles on this track so he's likely to find this on the short side. CREEPING IVY (NAP) had shown nothing until stepped up to 1m6f at Navan last month where she only faded close home. That was her first start since April and, though making her debut on this surface, she looks the type to follow off such a lowly mark. Rolanna has really found her form this summer and wasn't winning out of turn at Down Royal where she dead-heated over a slightly longer trip so she's a threat from what still looks a decent mark.
