Verdict
A very low-grade handicap in which Joseph O'Brien runs three. The experienced Shane Crosse has been booked for Maewyn and his mount looked to be improving on her last start at Naas in July so she looks best of the trio. Big Ego has gained his only victory over 1m4f and had a run over hurdles when last seen in May so may find this on the short side. Konig Hall has also been in action over jumps and scored over hurdles at Wexford in June. He's well handicapped on his return to the level and will get a good ride from Gavin Ryan. Wavepoint won at Wolverhampton in July but never showed at Leopardstown last time and though Dinkum Diamond has dropped to a winnable mark and ran a bit better at Gowran on Tuesday he's never won over this trip. CACHE QUEEN is 8lb higher than her victory at Down Royal in July but she's continued to run well and Donagh O'Connor is one of the top young riders in the race so she can get back to winning ways.
