Great Realief is a decent enough handicapper on the Flat but hasn't shown much over timber and heavy ground looks against him with a penalty. Smalib Monterg won't mind the conditions and produced his best run to date in a Listowel handicap a week ago so looks certain to go well but BALLYHOURA, who fell on his hurdling debut last November, showed real promise in bumpers and had a confidence booster over timber at Killarney in July. He looks the one to be on though Streets Of Newyork looks the type to improve with age and didn't run badly on the Flat at Tramore last month.
