Verdict

Your Honor went up a massive 17lb for scoring at Sligo in August and, after two poor runs, gained a shock victory at Killarney for which he's up another 7lb. He just holds Hello Power on the latter run but Whatcouldhavebeen found 2m stretching her stamina here in July after scoring over the trip at Tipperary. Ellaat has won six races, shared between the Flat and hurdles, though wouldn't want the ground too testing while Rockview Roman's two victories have been over shorter at Dundalk. The lightly-raced MR MILLS found 1m6f too far at Navan but a previous effort at Killarney puts him in the frame and Colin Keane is an intriguing booking so he gets the nod.
