Magic Chegaga made a successful return to action here in June and has also scored at Naas though wouldn’t want any rain. Killarney maiden winner Turbulence was making his handicap debut when staying on over a mile here and has been dropped 2lb while Prairie Dancer found 1m3f too far at Killarney. The latter’s stablemates Vultan, Max Mayhem and Band Of Outlaws are all capable of winning at this level but this can go to GEOMETRICAL, who won with a ton in hand at Tipperary and has only gone up 3lb. Saltonstall would have to be considered if the going eased considerably with Sam Ewing’s claim a massive plus.
