Challow makes a quick reappearance after a very good second at Cork on Saturday but is still a maiden after 24 starts. Settle For Red wins races on any kind of surface, scoring on heavy going at Leopardstown after an earlier victory at Dundalk. He's still reasonably treated so victory number nine isn't out of the question. Texas Radio also reappears quickly after another fine effort at Dundalk on Sunday though he rarely runs away from that track nowadays. CAMILE isn't the most prolific and connections won't be pleased with an 8lb rise for scoring at Navan but she beat a big field there in good style and is taken to follow up.
