Verdict
Just On Fire managed to finish in a place when third at the Curragh last time, which is not bad going compared to the rest of this bunch, while Elusive Moon actually won a race at Wexford in July only to be well beaten off a higher mark on his latest start. Pimlico Sound scored at Cork back in May but arrives in dire form so a token vote goes to IF PARADISE. He's had just the two starts this year, but finished a close-up fifth at Cork on his latest one and Charles Coakley's veteran may have one more win in him yet.
