Fiosrach landed a maiden at Kilbeggan in April but hasn't been in the best of form on the Flat this summer. Just Get Cracking's only victory to date came on heavy ground but it was good going when Just Call Me scored at Cork in July and he's now 9lb higher. Most Honourable has won three times so far - all on good going - but Mackey Boy, who won at this fixture in 2012, hasn't run since the following month. BALOFILO is still a maiden and hardly one to put much faith in but her close second on soft going at Ballinrobe last month points to her chances and she's given a speculative vote in a tricky contest.
