Aidan O'Brien has two entries but it's Joseph who looks to have the upper hand with RIVER RAIN. She had Champagne half-a-length behind when runner-up at Galway where she didn't enjoy the run of the race so should have no difficulty beating that rival again and both hold Beautiful Chaos on that run. Honeycomb has been a major disappointment since runner-up at Killarney in July while Bridgehead had been running over shorter but produced a fine effort when beaten a head over hurdles at Ballinrobe earlier this month. Cara Susanna has some scope and looks best of the remainder.
