A race full of disappointing types and Maggie McGrath has not come anywhere near her best juvenile form produced on this track though she has raced exclusively on Turf this summer. CHARLIE BROW‘N was a 150/1 chance when a very good third at Cork then he failed to handle soft ground at the Curragh. He has a bit more scope than most of these so gets the nod. If But Maybe has changed stables since showing good pace over 6f here three weeks ago while Reinforce looks to have gone backwards after showing decent form on Turf in the summer.
