Verdict

Never Back Down won a Lingfield handicap off 100 three years ago but had dropped to 56 when gaining his first victory on his 19th start here last month for which he's been put up 10lb. Brosna Empress is 0-14 but looked a likely future winner when twice runner-up over a mile on Turf. He didn't run well over 7f here on Friday but this is his trip nowadays. ZAHEE, a course and distance winner in July, finished a close third in that race on Friday, staying on without quite getting there. Today's trip is much more to his liking and a repeat would see him difficult to beat. Silent Performance scored over 1m2f at Down Royal last month and may find this on the short side but Blyton looks a major threat having won over the trip at Bellewstown and run well at Thurles three weeks ago.
