Broughtons Star had an engagement in the 8.10 at Tipperary last night. L'attesa is the only course and distance winner in the line-up having won here in September. He was returning from a break when scoring comfortably at Down Royal last month and Barry Browne can again use his claim to counteract the 7lb rise. FRIDAYNIGHTLIGHTS has been raised 10lb for his victory at Fairyhouse on Sunday where he defied a last-flight error to win convincingly. That was his first start for Gordon Elliott and with more in the tank he can complete a quick double. My Betty last won when tackling fences but has reverted to hurdling on a lower mark and been running well so she's on the shortlist as is Courtly Conduct, who was nowhere near his best at Navan after a close second at Ballinrobe.
