Hasanour has won three times over a mile around here and was unlucky in-running when tried over this trip at Navan in July. LOCH GARMAN has had very little racing and returned from a long absence to chase home stablemate Parish Hall in a Listed contest here in April. He hasn't been seen subsequently but Jim Bolger will have him ready to challenge for this nice prize and he gets the nod. The very consistent Unsinkable went up 6lb for finishing a close third in a valuable handicap at Galway and is 21lb higher than his last winning mark but Tandem looked back to his best at Tipperary and looks well treated on the pick of his form. The three-year-old Archangel Raphael finished last in the Grand Prix De Paris but the fact that he took his chance in a Group 1 after completing a double in minor company suggests connections have high hopes for him. There are numerous dangers including Torcedor, an excellent second on his handicap debut at the Galway Festival and open to any amount of improvement.
