PAK ARMY breezed to the front over 1m4f here in September and only had to be pushed put to score. He again didn’t quite get home over hurdles subsequently but ran well enough to suggest he’ll be a factor in this, despite a 9lb rise. Yarraman is a threat as he had a couple of runs on Turf in August. Munaajaat is an 11-race maiden but is definitely worth a try over this longer trip and Caronda is starting to look well treated. Mountain Fox has struggled on this surface in the past, however, and a similar comment applies to Early Strike, though he was second over this trip at Navan last month.
