Verdict
FOREIGN LEGION has been running well and has dropped to a winnable mark. He stayed on when runner-up over 7f here on Tuesday and can go one better. Shifted Strategy won this in 2018 but finished last a year ago and hasn't run since but Ecoeye returned from a long break to win convincingly at Roscommon last month and a 6lb rise doesn't look insurmountable. Plum Perfect has only won on Polytrack at Dundalk but John McConnell has his horses in good form and Tanseeq should be suited by stepping back up to this trip. Breaking News has never won but with her yard firing the winners in she's one to keep an eye on.
