Verdict

Such are the weaknesses of his rivals that SPECIFIC GRAVITY almost collects the vote by default here. He has winning form at Dundalk this year over 1m4f and scored on turf in his youth. His turf run at Naas in March is forgiven as it came in a valuable handicap and he'll meet nothing of that ilk here. He has every right to take the measure of this motley crew. Indian Tomahawk has struggled since joining this yard but his old form would give him some hope and he may be best of the rest ahead of Love History who encounters perhaps his easiest task to date after four starts and might have more to offer.
