BOONDOOMA, who won a Limerick bumper in December, has run well twice over 2m4f since joining Richard Newland and has his sights lowered here. He'll be tough to beat if handling the drop in distance and the sharp track. Focail Maith hasn't sparkled in recent runs and is starting to run out of chances but Aglaophonos has a chance on his form in the autumn and should be suited by the course. Flash Tommie was third at Market Rasen last Sunday but still beaten 26 lengths.
