Aunt Audrey has won twice around here and arrives in good form from hurdling though she may find this on the short side nowadays. Highway To Heaven and All The Mollies fought out a finish over the track and trip in August and the former should have the edge again at these weights while Pulsating, eight-times a winner on the all-weather, gained his first Turf victory at Navan last month but is 8lb higher. Stellify has yet to win but Never Rains has scored around here and ran well on heavy ground at Limerick last time. GIORNI FELICE looked like repeating July's Navan victory over slightly further a couple of week's ago but was run out of it in the closing stages. He can go one better as both the third and fourth have won subsequently. Weardiditallgorong, who finished fifth on his reappearance in that latter race, could go well at a price.
