Miss Cunning and Ragtime Red have both won four times here and though out of form can never be dismissed from the reckoning. Complete Fiction has been running well since landing a Leopardstown handicap in June but is now 12lb higher. Cheers Again showed nothing in maidens and though well supported at Cork in July failed to justify the optimism. STRATACASTER, placed over track and trip in August, returned with a staying-on effort over a mile earlier this month and may be good enough. Numidia was clear at this trip when tackling 1m4f a fortnight ago and looks the main threat.
