Verdict

This has been run twice and outsiders have won both. Morselle is likely to be at the head of the betting on her handicap debut though she's hasn't been seen since May. Captain Power has been in superb form on fast going and has run well on ground with some give in the past while the lightly-raced Peace Mission made Creggs Pipes pull out the stops at Leopardstown and has more to offer. Tylery Wonder hasn't been beaten far in his last two and is still reasonably treated but DARK ALLIANCE and Ducky Mallon, who fought out a finish here in June, can get into contention again with preference just for the former, who won with a bit in hand.
