Verdict
Charcor has solid form at this level though may find conceding weight to in-form rivals beyond him. Elite Trooper Grey is still a maiden and keeps going up in the weights without winning. He should get into the frame again but Edification has gone up 9lb since May and is 12lb higher than when scoring at Naas in June. TAKEACHANCEJIMMY is 17lb higher than when beating a big field at Navan in June but has continued in fine form and his second to Turnberry Isle at Ballinrobe last month points to his chances. Maricruz prefers quicker ground but Happy Company has won around here and was only just beaten from 2lb higher on the track in May.
