Autumn Mist is the only course winner having scored over a mile in October though she isn't favoured by the draw. Sideshow Bob is another with a high berth though she's been running very well at Dundalk without winning and Chimeric's chances of making a successful debut for new connections look low from stall 18. Musalsal scored twice over further last summer on ground with some give but DROMOD LAD, a winner on heavy ground at Bellewstown in August, is well berthed and can make it count. Raffaello hasn't won since completing a double in 2019 but finished runner-up over a mile here in October and his stable has struck form.
