Verdict
Several of these are better known as chasers including The Job Is Right, a close third in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham, and Quantitativeeasing, who will no doubt be aiming for the big cross country race on that track in December. POWERSBOMB beat a huge field at the Festival here in July and made a bold bid to follow up under a 10lb rise at Killarney and though his best form has been on good ground conditions won't be testing here and he can return to winning ways. Leave At Dawn has to be a major threat after his last victory at Killarney though that was in May and a 10lb rise may just prevent a follow up. Master Appeal has a very good chance on his close second in a tough Listowel handicap but Talk The Lingo, who completed a double at this time a year ago, hasn't run since tailed off at Cork in November.
