After showing some potential on fast going, Foolish didn't enjoy softer ground and a longer trip at Wexford and should do better. BLACK WOLF RUN owes his supporters after being beaten at short odds in his two latest starts but his close second over the track and trip in July entitles him to the vote. Seaforth has gone backwards very quickly and Shark Hanlon will be hoping blinkers do the trick while Duchessofflorence takes a big drop in trip on her first all-weather start, though her overall form has to put her in the frame.
