Verdict
Fox Le Bel continues to frustrate having been placed 10 times in 26 races under Rules but still a maiden. The front-running Rudy Catrail is 10lb higher than when scoring narrowly at Roscommon in August where he had GREENWAY MACHINE a long way behind. However, the latter looked a different proposition when scoring at Downpatrick a month ago and should take this in that sort of form. Highstreetfashion stays the trip and will enjoy the conditions so may prove best of the remainder.
