Several of these are on losing runs and have dropped to winnable marks. They include eight-times winner Beau Satchel, who ran his best race for some time at Cork, and No Way Jack, though the latter does best on softer ground. Alfirak has only ever raced at Dundalk so tonight's going is an unknown though he did show real courage to win when last seen in April. Stamp Of Authority is 1-33 though very nearly doubled his winning tally at Sligo. However, he's rarely raced on fast ground and may get taken off his feet. Bouquet Garni is dropping to realistic mark though her only victory in 25 starts came at Dundalk so a chance is taken with DOUBLE CZECH. Three times a winner in the UK, he's yet to score for new connections but gave notice of better to come at Sligo and Ben Coen's claim can see him home.
