Verdict
Bubbly Bellini has won four times since the middle of June and though up again in the weights for his victory at the Curragh that was over 5f and there's no doubt he's better over this trip. Pintura didn't quite last out the mile here on Tuesday when just caught by Vastonea with Custom Cat and Bold Thady Quill not far behind. There's no real reason for a reversal of the form though the latter had to do it the hard way from a poor draw and can get closer. Bendzoldan's winning run came to an end at the Curragh where the very heavy ground wasn't in her favour. She can bounce back and go well but it's FOOTPRINT who gets the vote. He's proved himself best at this trip and looked in very good shape when beating a decent field in a conditions event at Leopardstown last month.
