ASK THE LEADER gained her third victory here in August and, though they have all been over further, today's softer ground is in her favour. Trishknowsbest and Darkest Hour had a battle royal over the track and trip three weeks ago with the former just prevailing. She can confirm the form as the latter is still a maiden over timber, as is Ballinlough Gale who keeps going up in the weights. The four-year-old Single Edition looks to have plenty of weight but Daisy Dufresne has run well in handicaps since her Sligo maiden victory and can get into the frame again.
