In depth

Verdict

Midnight Music went to Listowel with a favourites chance after her Rocommon victory but couldn't cope with a 4lb rise in the weights. Cloudgazer finished strongly over 1m2f at the Curragh and this looks more his trip but Mutiska probably needs further and is still a maiden. Noble Call has also yet to get on the scoresheet and was well beaten over hurdles ten days ago so it's SUN DISC who gets the nod. Dessie Hughes' filly scored over timber at Down Royal in August then showed her versatility with victories on the Flat over 1m5f and 1m2f. She was just touched off over the latter trip at Navan last time but can return to winning ways here. The lightly-raced and progressive Leroy Parker is another to consider after his staying-on effort at Navan.
