Official ratings suggest SEAN OG COULSTON is well in here and he can gain his second success of the meeting after scoring over 6f on Tuesday. The longer trip holds no fears for him as he showed when just touched off by Priomhbhean at Leopardstown on his previous start and he can continue a run that has seen him raised an amazing 40lbs since May. Rare Symphony looked very promising when storming away with a Naas maiden in July and she has faced stiff tasks in handicaps subsequently. She failed to stay 1m3f at Dundalk last time and looks the main threat though Snap Alam is another with a chance. Joanna Morgan's filly has been wonderfully consistent this year and probably deserves more than her two victories. She has no problems with the trip and the only question mark is softer ground than she has faced before. Indus Valley was well beaten in the opening race here on Friday and will need to do better.
