STYLISH MOMENT bids to get back on the winning trail after finishing runner-up over hurdles here last week. He'd completed a double when scoring over the track and trip last month and though 8lb higher looks the one to beat. Western Sea was a long way behind in that latter event Hilltop Supreme looked like losing his maiden tag when leading on the run-in over 2m4f at Naas but was run out of it close home so today's trip looks ideal. Cusp Of Carabelli has been in fine form since the spring, scoring over hurdles and fences, though has been beaten off slightly lower marks while Enduring Love, a winner over 2m5f on heavy going at Fairyhouse, may need further. Great Khan is on a long losing run and though running well in his last two starts over this trip he's looked as though he needed a stiffer test.
