Master Speaker, who has some cracking placed efforts to his credit, continues to frustrate as he did when tackling 7f at Tipperary and a strike-rate of 2-41 is scant reward for his ability. In Salutem has been in superb form all summer and, though 6lb higher than for his last handicap success, his last two runs have been in Group company where he's run well up to standard. He's certain to go well in a tight handicap but finished behind FORT DEL ORO in a Group 3 at Leopardstown and Eddie Lynam's filly, a Listed winner in July, can get back to winning ways. Flight Risk hasn't won since landing a Group 3 here in May of last year but has been placed on numerous occasions and looks a big threat while Shanghai Glory has only ever won on soft ground though was well beaten in his only start in pattern race company.
