Bashful Beauty is better over fences as he demonstrated when scoring at Ballinrobe on Tuesday. He can race from a 10lb lower mark here so has to be respected but conceding weight to Tajseer may be beyond him. Gordon Elliott's charge was always travelling well when landing a Kilbeggan maiden and would have won more easily had his rider not dropped his whip. He looks a threat to all but the vote goes to CRYSTAL PEARL. Charles Byrnes' mare has been racing at a slightly higher level and was still travelling well when slipping up at the Galway Festival so compensation awaits. Baby Jake won at Cartmel in July and ran well enough in a better race there last month while any money for the reappearing Cillian's Return is worth noting as he showed promise last year. Coldstonesober is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and reverts to hurdles after a fair run from a higher mark over fences last time.
