BEAU SATCHEL completed a fine hat-trick on Turf in mid-summer and not surprisingly shot up the weights as a consequence. He can revert back to his much lower all-weather mark here and should prove very difficult to beat. Golden Shoe hasn't won since scoring here in January of last year but generally goes well on the track while Sister Slew returned to winning ways in a modest claimer at Laytown. Victor's Beach has dropped to a very lowly mark on Turf but is 10lb higher on the all-weather where he has gained all of his three career victories. Hoppsan has to be a threat to all from her lowly spot in the weights as she's been consistent this season and is just 4lb higher than her last victory over the course and distance. The Dancing Lord, a regular winner in the UK, isn't without a chance under the excellent Ronan Whelan.
