RED ALL STAR doesn't have the best of strike-rates but is invariably thereabouts on this track and is only 2lb higher than his victory here last month so gets the nod in a tight-looking handicap. Nora Batt makes a quick reappearance after just being headed by Doonard Prince over 5f on heavy going at Navan on Wednesday. However, she's yet to reach a place in 11 all-weather starts and though Your Pal Tal loves it around here it's a long time since he won. Goodnite Irina showed potential here last winter and again on Turf in the summer so she should be winning soon while Ahundrednotout ran well when third here in July before being sent to Wolverhampton to land a maiden.
