Dermot Weld will be hoping to get another Flat victory out of Unaccompanied before the Triumph Hurdle runner-up reverts back to timber. The last time she ran on the level she landed a Listed event at the Curragh so a mark of 98 may not prove too much of a burden. Castle Bar Sling has been in very good form all season and just found a mile too short last time from his current mark, though he scored over that trip on faster ground in August. Swampfire has been finding 1m4f too far but Certerach should be better suited by some give in the ground as he hung badly when scoring on fast going at Clonmel. TOBAR NA GAOISE has had just four runs so far and shown enough ability to suggest a decent handicap is within his capabilities. He ran well for a long way under an apprentice here last time and Kevin Manning can steer him into the winner's enclosure this time. The consistent Hadrian's Waltz tackles the trip for the first time but should be suited while stablemate Azores makes her handicap debut after showing up well in decent maiden company.
