Johnny Murtagh's horses are in good form and KASBAH can follow up his reappearance victory over the track and trip last month from just 5lb higher. He had Star Fire back in fifth and should take care of him again but Master Speaker is a big threat, though Martin Hassett's charge doesn't win often enough for such a talented sprinter and is still 2lb higher than his last victory at the Curragh in May despite a dozen subsequent starts. A line through Go Kart puts Lady Mega right in the picture as the selection also beat that one last time and there's little between them on collateral form. Togoville loves it around here but has a huge weight and has now been beaten four times from this mark. Sors led for a long way on his reappearance over an extra furlong and scored over the course and distance when rated higher than this last summer.
