Russian Roulette stayed on strongly to score over the minimum at Fairyhouse before running well under a 6lb penalty at Punchestown. Champagne Pat was headed right on the line at Punchestown and made a bold bid to go one better at Navan. He's only four and will be suited by the extra distance but HIGHANDMIGHTY looks the one to be on. Sean Byrne's charge hadn't been showing much since his winning point-to-point form but had no problems landing a Thurles maiden and the assessor may have underestimated him on 105. Seaweed showed his first sign of ability in a Bellewstown handicap in July and, though facing testing conditions for the first time, could be on a very lenient mark. Miss Sassie won a Wexford handicap in September and has been chasing but Golden Jewel gained a surprise victory on his handicap debut at Fairyhouse and even a 9lb rise may not be enough to prevent another big run.
