In depth

Verdict

SHANGHAI BEAUTY scored over the course and distance on soft ground in August and is only 2lb higher, despite her recent double. She still appears well treated and a hat-trick beckons. Primo Uomo completed a hat-trick of second places at Dundalk early in the year but has won on good going so the return to Turf shouldn't pose a problem. Go Kart has a very similar profile and Pat Smullen's presence is intriguing but Fast In The Wind has had 27 starts without winning since making a successful debut at the Curragh in 2013.
