TORNADO WATCH has picked up a penalty for winning here on Thursday but still has a bit of scope on the Flat off this sort of mark and could record a quick double for a yard that boasts a good strike-rate on the track. You Can't Catch Me has won over hurdles and on the Flat this summer and Small Bit Of Love rates a danger, despite only managing fourth off this mark at Leopardstown. Winning hurdler Awayinthewest is much better off at the weights than when just behind the selection in a maiden at Ballinrobe and Like An Open Book is fit from a jumping campaign. Minnie Dahill, Water Sprite and St Lawrence Gap add to the interest.
