Grade 1 winning hurdler Lethal Weapon could take this at his best but it's a long time since he did much on the Flat. Sadler's Mark has been in fine form over 1m2f and should have enough pace to make his presence felt but Indian Landing struggled with her extra 5lb at Roscommon after her double in August. JILLS BALLET landed a Cork handicap over this trip before completing a double over 7f around here. She's only been raised 3lb for that and can continue her winning run. Balladiene has been staying on strongly over 7f and this is her trip and Master Melody looked a little unlucky in-running at Listowel last time. Sunset Beauty could provide the main threat as she didn't get the best of runs on her hat-trick attempt here in July and has been given a nice break.
