Connections of Quarry Lil will be hoping for plenty of rain as she completed a double here earlier in the year on testing ground. SO NEAR SO FARHH is up 7lb for a comfortable victory over this trip at Downpatrick BUT can add to her seven career victories. Sean Says appears likely to do better over fences while Trixie Mc, a good winner at Kilbeggan earlier this month, pulled much too hard at Listowel last week. Pretty Little Liar, a winner on the Flat here in July, has been narrowly beaten in both recent starts over timber though she's yet to prove she stays this far. Cute Cherry hasn't shown much but makes her handicap debut and her yard couldn't be in better form.
