Mr Bounty is the only one of these to have won on the unique track though that was at a slightly lower level. Oor Jock ran very well on his only start here two years ago and though surprisingly never successful on an artificial surface he should get into the firing line here. Shabra Emperor didn't run badly in this a year ago and has won five times at Dundalk so the surface shouldn't be a problem but Kiss The Stars has a poor strike-rate. COUNT OF CARABASS (NAP) is another who doesn't win often though he's rarely beaten far and in the hope he acts on the track he looks well enough treated to gain his first success on sand. Lake George isn't in the best of form and prefers further.
