Verdict
It’s more than two years since Bythesametoken last won over timber and he’s still 3lb higher but he ran a cracker when second at Ayr in the spring. Teed Up is 10lb higher than when landing this 12 months ago but beat a big field on the Flat here on Monday and was second in a premier handicap on Friday so has to go on the shortlist if turning out again. The four-year-old By Your Side is conceding weight all round but is not out of this but HIDALGO DES MOTTES may well have won at Bellewstown last month had he not fluffed his lines at the last. Cheekpieces are added to a tongue-tie today and Gavin Brouder’s claim takes care of a 2lb rise. Bal De Rio was unplaced on the Flat here on Wednesday but June’s Sligo winner Stilyker must have some sort of chance. Aurora Princess has also been busy here over the last week while Hearts Are Trumps won at Ballinrobe 12 days ago. Mike Smith sends over Perth and Hexham winner Trebizond but he looks up against it at the weights.
