Jim Bolger has a pair of entries and Kevin Manning has chosen VINTAGE CHARM. Her trainer always likes to bring horses out quickly after a good run and she ran her best race for a long time when runner-up at the Curragh on Monday. Stable companion Mandarin Monarch hasn't had much experience and may find this too tough but Johnny Murtagh also has two entries and either could win this. Pacodali was upgraded to Group 3 company after beating subsequent winner Tipstaff at Gowran while Windsor Beach didn't appear to appreciate Dundalk's Polytrack after showing excellent form on Turf during the summer which included two victories. Tony The Gent found dropping back to 7f against him in a premier handicap at Leopardstown though tackles this trip for the first time and Easy Pass has been looking one-paced over 1m4f.
