Verdict
Tooreen Legend was beaten just a head in what looked a strong renewal a year ago and Nina Carberry will be determined to go one better. Majenta scored over the course and distance in May and a strong gallop will play to her strengths while the veteran Paddy The Celeb returned to winning ways at Fairyhouse where he had Unrequited behind though he's probably best on faster ground. The Plan Man will enjoy the conditions and is another likely to be suited by the strong pace though Hurricane Ridge looks to have more of a chance as he's been in cracking form over further and scored over the course and distance in September. TETRAITES (NAP) has had little experience and is still a maiden but looks just the type for this. She hasn't been beaten far in any of her four starts this campaign, mostly against in-form rivals, and has the added bonus of Katie Walsh in the saddle.
