Five of these are course winners including Karlsberg, up 5lb for a comfortable victory over 7f last month. Betrayed won a Sligo handicap on yielding going and looked back to her best when a close third at Dundalk while Pretty Smart, who completed a double here in mid-summer, is an obvious threat to all despite shooting up the weights. She just about holds Roxette, runner-up to her here last time, while Chitra, seven-times a winner in the UK, ran in a much stronger race at Newcastle after a very encouraging debut for Joseph O'Brien. NOTORIOUSLY RISKY (NAP) is 0-9 but she's produced some excellent runs in big fields and the handicapper has released his grip enough for her to get off the mark.
