More than half of the 30-strong field are trained in the UK and Richard Fahey has become the man to follow in these events. He has four engaged this time and though jockey bookings won't offer any clues the presence of James Doyle on Stylish Boy catches the eye and he could go well at big odds. David Evans also has a quartet of entries with Pity Cash, who has been racing at a high level since her maiden victory, seemingly the pick with her very low weight. Richard Hannon's easy Epsom winner Viren's Army has a big weight but if the going eases considerably he'd have to be considered though the form picks are the home-based duo Reckless Endeavour and MISS ELIZABETH. The former beat the very useful Herald The Dawn at Naas in July and would be very difficult to beat on that form though he has to concede 7lb to Eddie Lynam's filly, who has been placed in Group company since completing a double in early summer.
