SILVERKODE completed a hat-trick in the summer of last year and suffered in the weights accordingly. He'd dropped to a more feasible mark in a premier handicap at Leopardstown last time and only just failed to hold Zap. He can go one better though Thiswaycadeaux, who has been in fine form all summer and won here in August, will provide a threat as he ran well on unsuitable heavy ground at Listowel. Betsey Trotter has only had four runs this campaign and looked an improved performer when scoring over a trip too short at Leopardstown while Fuwairt was staying on strongly over an extended 6f here last week and Kevin Manning has been booked again. Mr Ormsby has dropped to his lowest mark since scoring at Dundalk in March.
