Verdict
SLIEVE BINNIAN, a winner at Dundalk last November, has gradually improved this summer and got home by a neck at the Curragh last month. He's up 3lb but Colin Keane has been booked and a follow-up looks on the cards. Simply Sideways made a successful reappearance at Gowran in May and has continued in good form, scoring again at Naas and only 5lb higher today. Dark Note didn't handle heavy ground at Galway but scored over hurdles and on the Flat in July and looks a threat to all. Eloquent Arthur has changed trainers and is on a long losing run.
