In depth

Verdict

DONTDOODDSON went up 7lb for scoring at Sligo and was there with every chance when unseating at the last at Tipperary. He's been raised another 3lb but this looks within his capabilities. Hilltop Supreme has never won but would have a chance with a clear round though Steer Clear looks more of a threat after dropping back to this trip at Fairyhouse and running well behind Captain Cobjay. Kavanaghs Corner was returning from a break and having his first start for a new stable when beaten a long way into third at Clonmel while Indian Music would have to be considered on his victory at Tramore in August though the ground could prove on the soft side for her.
