The four-year-old Byker, beaten a neck in the Boodles at Cheltenham, is capable of winning a nice prize this winter and his rider‘s claim is a bonus. Banjaxed, who ran in two Grade 2s in the spring, makes his handicap debut after making all for an easy victory at Perth in May. Gordon Elliott runs a quartet and Irish Blaze reverts to hurdles after running well over fences though CRASSUS (NAP) is looking on a very winnable mark. Noel Meade‘s charge improved 12lb on the Flat during the summer on his return from a long break and finished runner-up from this mark when last seen over timber two years ago. Theonewedreamof ran a fine race at Galway last month and is at the right end of the handicap while Largy Shark is unbeaten in novice company over hurdles and Music Of Tara was narrowly beaten in both starts in the spring though over 2m4f.
