Stormy Belle is the only course and distance winner in the line-up having won here as a two-year-old. She returned to action in winning style at Gowran and still doesn't look badly handicapped and the forecast rain will be in her favour. Thiswaycadeaux wasn't far behind her at Gowran and also at Listowel on heavy ground in September and she looks a threat though the one to take from the race is DIANTHUS, who was only three lengths away in fifth. Richard O'Brien's charge led for most of the way and, with that under his belt and slightly less to travel, she can get back to winning ways. Time Stands Still has been raised 11lb for last week's Cork victory and this looks tougher while Encantador can't get her head in front and is still a maiden after 16 starts.
