Plough Boy has new connections but won three times in the UK this year for Willie Musson though is much better treated on Turf than the all-weather where he looks a bit high. Gold Class won at Southwell for Ed McMahon is September but has been well beaten over hurdles for new connections in the past couple of weeks. Twistsandturns went up 7lb for his victory at Naas in August and made no impression on his next start at Killarney but he's on a 4lb lower mark here and should get into the action. Nedera will be well supported on his hat-trick bid despite a 6lb rise for a narrow victory three weeks ago, his second on the track in a week. However, TRADE MARKED, who was beaten 2l in that latter event, is 9lb better off and didn't get the best of runs so he looks the best option in a tight handicap.
