KNIGHTS TEMPLAR (NAP) bounced back to form at Roscommon on Monday, gaining an easy victory under Ross Coakley. He comes here with a 5lb penalty but has been raised a massive 12lb for that victory so this should be well within his capabilities. Octavia has been narrowly beaten in her three runs at Dundalk this year and is on a low enough mark to get involved again while though Hilary beat the selection at Gowran in April she couldn't handle a 10lb hike in the weights at Dundalk next time. Mezogiorno won here in July and produced another fine run on the track on Friday so she has to be respected along with Whip Up A Frenzy, who has won twice at Dundalk and ran her best race on Turf so far at Naas last week.
