Verdict
A handful of these have already achieved a handicap rating with THREE D ALEXANDER coming out best of them. She found one too good when starting favourite here last week on her first start since August but can make amends with that pipe-opener under her belt. Searchlight looks next best on his recent placed efforts, although Dove Mountain has earlier form in Ireland that gives him a chance. The others have it all to do at the weights unless Red House has taken a big step forward since last seen at the track in June.
