With her stable in good form, MEADOW CROSS looks to have a chance of gaining her first success over timber. Denis Hogan's four-year-old was only narrowly beaten over this trip on good ground at Tipperary in August and again when runner-up at Dundalk last week. Artists Daughter will have found the minimum trip on the short side when placed in a big field at Gowran and her earlier placed efforts at around this trip suggest she should be in the frame again. Aurora's Dream has been unable to cope with a weight rise after her victory at Downpatrick in August and Steamboat Quay was a big disappointment when heavily supported at Navan, though may have found 2m6f stretching his stamina. Graney Town ran poorly at Killarney last time but had been in good form previously and would have a chance if the ground remains on the quick side.
