Verdict

Morricone went up 8lb for an easy victory over 2m2f here last month and was well beaten at Bangor on Wednesday. MR SOCIAL (NAP), a winner over 2m4f at Tramore in August, was in the lead at this trip when tackling 3m at Listowel and can get back on the winning trail. Moneynabane has never won and ran poorly when sent to Warwick last month but winning bumper Kiss My Lucky Egg ran her best race to date over hurdles at Gowran last week. Signora Di Milano made a promising debut for Gordon Elliott here in August but has been well beaten in subsequent runs.
