Verdict
The majority of these are old pals with No Speed Limit 2-27 here and Teddy Boy 1-14. The former was drawn 16 when landing this a year ago so today's stalls position won't be a problem. The latter has been busy all summer and retained his form very well. He's still on a fair mark and has to be on the shortlist. QAABIL benefited from a return to Peter Fahey's yard when bolting up at Gowran and ran well on softer going at Thurles next time. He can go in again though recent Fairyhouse winner Kuwait Direction is just 2lb higher and can get competitive.
