Verdict
October Revolution, five times a winner between the flags, went up 9lb for scoring at Clonmel and couldn't cope next time. Sam King will have found 2m1f much too short at Killarney and can do better over this trip and though Naughty Molly hasn't been running badly at this level a strike-rate of 1-51 is uninspiring. Better B Quick won around here after returning from point-to-points but was well beaten at Roscommon so the vote goes to DOUBLE WINDSOR. He completed a double when scoring here in July and a recent second place over hurdles will have put him spot-on for another victory. Black Jewel is another to note in a poor-class finale.
