Fit For Function is 2-16 on the track and his last victory came off a 6lb higher mark so he's not out of this. Eleuthera was in good form on Turf during the summer but has suffered in the weights and there's little between her and Pretty Smart on their 1-2 at Navan with the latter battling to victory. NOIRVENTO (NAP) has had three starts here and run well in them all including when a close third behind Pillar last time. This isn't the toughest of handicaps and he can take this for Tracey Collins.
