Un Hinged will no doubt soon be seen back over jumps but he's only 3lb higher than when scoring over 1m2f at Leopardstown in August. Denny Craine was gaining his fourth victory on the track last month but he's now on his highest mark on his 24th start and both Buccaneer Bob and Elusive Ridge, who weren't far behind last time, have chances to reverse the form. Strandfield Lady took advantage of a fair mark compared to her turf rating to score over the C&D a fortnight ago but the admirable Sun Disc, who completed a hat-trick in late summer, looked as though she'd had enough for the time being when tailed off over hurdles at Naas two weeks ago. ELIZABETH COFFEE has been described as a late developer and she'll be meeting older rivals for the first time but she's a real battler and can gain another success despite a big jump in the weights for last week's success.
