Verdict
Pegase Amour has only been running moderately between the flags and looks high enough in the weights but GOLDEN SUNSET (NAP) can gain compensation for his defeat when well supported at Tramore. He was conceding 16lb to the winner and this doesn't look much tougher. He holds third-placed An Droichead Gorm and the fourth Carried on that run while Mash Potato, a very easy winner at Cartmel in August, has run poorly the last twice and changed stables. Six-times point-to-point winner Sliabh Mhuire Lass looks the main threat after a cracking effort over a trip too short at Clonmel where she was staying on strongly at the finish.
