KING OF REDFIELD and Down The Dale have both been in good form over timber and are the ones to concentrate on. The former scored over 3m at Tipperary in June and though not successful in three subsequent starts he's run very well and is now on a mark of 113. Down The Dale won over 2m2f at Downpatrick last month and probably did even better when a close second to Vino Vino Cavo at Ballinrobe earlier this month. He has a few pounds to find on hurdling ratings with the selection but looks sure to get competitive. Takasima was beaten a long way over 1m4f at Sligo last time and has never run beyond 1m5f. His stamina has to be taken on trust unlike Saponara, who scored twice over hurdles in May and is well suited by fast conditions.
