Sheer Bravado has completed a hat-trick in the last couple of weeks and showed no sign of stopping at Killarney though a 10lb rise makes this tougher. Saltonstall loves big-field handicaps having scored at the Galway Festival the last two years. DANCE JUPITER (NAP) looked a certain future winner when just failing to concede Teed Up a stone at Galway and was well supported at the Curragh but didn't get the run of the race - compensation awaits here. Quizical is well at home on testing ground and was beaten less than a length by Laughifuwant in a premier handicap at the Curragh in August when Flaming Moon wasn't far behind.
