Verdict
Beau Satchel has been in outstanding form all summer winning four times though the assessor has taken note and raised him another 2lb despite being beaten at Listowel. The lightly-raced Yava has been going well but it's a big ask for a maiden to take this while another maiden, Beyond Intensity, is taking a massive drop in trip. Shukhov has been racing over longer trips since his victory at Galway but he has a big weight rise to contend with so, in a wide-open contest, STRONGER THAN ME, who has won over 1m2f here and has gone well on that track several times, is taken to score for Ana O'Brien.
