Few of theses are in any kind of form but Hatton Cross has been runner-up three times in recent weeks though over shorter trips and a mile on soft ground stretches his stamina. MISS BALLYGALLY (NAP) has no problems with either trip or ground and could just be good enough to carry her big weight to victory. She's on the same mark as when attempting to concede Ask Katie 17lb on testing ground at Limerick and only succumbing close home. Fast On has a very poor strike-rate but is best over this trip as he showed with a good run at Gowran before finding 1m3f too far at Limerick. Zero Euro has gone off the boil since a couple of decent runs in mid-summer but this looks the kind of race where the market could prove significant.
