Verdict

Teach Nua was raised 12lb for completing a double at Sligo in August and was well beaten on his hat-trick bid but he's better than that and is one to note on his return. Mutasareb showed nothing in his first three starts on Turf but has subsequently won four times on Polytrack and should go well without troubling STRANDFIELD LADY. The seven-year-old loves it around here and scored twice over the C&D at this time a year ago including this race. She's now back on a winning mark and Sam James' claim is a bonus. Emotional Dream has been left on the same mark after landing a weak maiden at Roscommon but she's on the upgrade and has run well over this C&D in the past.
