Verdict
TROTTING WEASEL went up 2lb for beating Richelieu narrowly over the C&D and is another 3lb higher after a fine effort behind the in-form Ashton Rose over an extra furlong. He is running well enough to take this though Daisy Mountain was just half-a-length behind Ashton Rose here last time and is closely matched with the selection on that form though it was over a mile and that appears to be her best trip. Rigid Rock had dropped to a mark of 49 when beating today's rival Rose Garnet at Naas in August and is 12lb higher here though he's scored off much higher marks in the past.
