Lexington Dash won this on his only visit to the track a year ago and will be 7lb lower after a poor run of form. HOTROCKET changed yards after a very easy maiden success over the course and distance a year ago and has been gradually building to another victory, scoring with a bit in hand at Gowran. He's been hit with a 9lb rise but there's more to come. Verhoyen loves the Curragh and won for the second time there this season last month and he's also been raised 9lb. Runner-up Hightimeyouwon should get much closer on the revised terms but Pandora Lovegood returns after a long break and is probably warming up for Galway where she won last year.
