Sweet Sounds makes a belated reappearance after her two summer victories but she doesn't look particularly well in for her handicap debut. Chronicles won a Navan maiden but had no answer to Tommy Hallinan at Cork so the vote goes to LIBERATIO. Michael Halford's charge had smart form in his first campaign and made an eye-catching comeback on his handicap debut at Navan where he stayed on late. His stable also run Allography, who was behind Chronicles at Cork and looks held. Lost In Silence landed a Galway maiden then couldn't handle heavy going at Listowel so should do better.
