Blueberry Hill appeared to be travelling like a winner at Down Royal last time but found little at the business end though he'll enjoy the fast conditions. Notorious Villain is in danger of living up to his name after running out at Kilbeggan when in the lead, the race in which Real Man Of War found 2m3f too far after a much better effort over this trip at Punchestown in June. SWANSEA MILE showed promise on his debut at Tipperary and was only headed on the line by Little Haarth over this track and trip early this month. He's the youngest in the line-up and can be expected to improve enough to go one better. Bon Chic showed some improvement at Cork last month and looks best of the remainder.
