Verdict
A modest handicap and MISS MAYFAIR (NAP) must have every chance of following up August's easy course and distance victory, despite a 10lb higher mark. Likely market rival Hassadin has been found wanting over trips like this in the past but last month's Kilbeggan winner Boherna Lady should give a good account with Kevin Darcy taking off 7lb. Amber Flush is preferred to Stay In My Heart of the others.
