MARSHALLED (NAP) has improved for the application of cheekpieces and won two of his last three outings. Padraig Roche’s charge had Cushinstown Finest back in fourth when scoring at Gowran last time and looks worth sticking with in this. She Tops The Lot is another recent winner though she steps up in trip after scoring over 2m1f at Tipperary while Filon D'Oudairies won over track and trip in August before beaten off a higher mark at Kilbeggan. Golden Jewel placed over hurdles during the summer and can race off a lower mark back over fences while Notice To Close finished third here earlier in the year and will be sharper for a recent comeback run.
