Jessica Harrington won last year's renewal but her Neverushacon was in trouble when unseating his rider at Killarney last month in a race won by the progressive BAILY CLOUD in which Tiger Roll, who was giving 4lb to the winner, finished second. As well as the runner-up, Gordon Elliott runs another two in this and, being a four-year-old filly, easy Tramore winner Tocororo gets all the allowances. Tiger Roll probably has more class than her and stable companion Taglietelle, however, though the latter ran well on his chasing bow in July. Hurricane Ben finished ahead of Neverushacon and the selection at Galway in July so can't be ignored while Odit won at Downpatrick last month.
