Hamley is the only course and distance winner and is only 3lb higher than her victory in July, though she hasn't run since the following month. Spruce Meadows wasn't beaten far in this a year ago and he's been running well at Dundalk. Gary Halpin's claim can see him go well while Toulson had some fair form in the UK and any market moves should be noted. Tirmizi has changed stables after winning an amateurs' race by 17 lengths at Listowel in June while Inscribe was well beaten into second at Navan, though today's longer trip should suit. PANDAGREEN returned to action in very good form last season so obviously goes well fresh. She's been given a chance by the assessor and regular pilot Wayne Lordan is on board again so she's given a sporting chance to get back to winning ways.
