Tribal Path is extremely well handicapped these days but has been unable to get his head in front since completing a four-timer in 2016. NJORD scored at Gowran in May and, back on soft ground at Killarney last month under a big weight, just failed to hold the late challenge of Dare To Flare. Sheila Lavery's charge can go one better though Meryems Way, a dual winner at Gowran in the spring, is better than she showed at Cork in June and her rider's claim is a bonus. Kudbegood attracted good support at Roscommon though disappointed and remains a maiden but War Anthem is one to note in the market despite a three-year absence as he won over hurdles the last time he ran and his trainer has no problems getting one ready.
