City Exile had Banana Three a length behind when they occupied the places at Dundalk last month but had the benefit of experience and the latter can reverse the form, especially after missing the break. Firm Handshake didn't get the run of the race when placed at Cork while BELLA BLUE EYES made a promising start at Tipperary in August. Bill Lee, who rode both on their debuts, has chosen the latter and Paddy Twomey's filly can make a winning reappearance. Morello Di Vento has a smart middle-distance pedigree and is one to keep an eye on for the future.
