Verdict
Mig Des Taillons went up 15lb for winning at Down Royal but ran very well at Galway next time and can't have been right at Punchestown last week. Fauguernon beat a huge field in a novices' handicap at Leopardstown in December and will have needed last month's run after a long break. Moonball has fallen in her last two starts but would have a chance on her victory at Kilbeggan in June while Gracefull Grace has shown a bit of promise in maidens and makes her handicap debut. GUIDO RENI has been running well on the Flat all summer without winning. He has a hurdles victory to his credit and is taken to double his tally in a poor handicap. Ricky Langford went up 8lb for scoring at Wexford and couldn't quite cope at Gowran last week and is up another 2lb.
