Automated, placed over hurdles since his third over 2m at the Galway Festival in July, is likely to start favourite for this with Jack Kennedy taking off 3lb. Hidden Universe is a threat, however, if this doesn't come too soon after his fourth at Galway on Monday evening. Ballinrobe hurdles winner Lisa's Legacy and the potentially well-treated Micras are others to consider while Cassells Rock has plummeted down the weights on the Flat this year. RIGHTDOWNTHEMIDDLE might be some value as he was third off this mark at Bellewstown in June and didn't give his true running at Navan last month.
