Clonmoyle has placed in points and a hurdle so it’s a surprise to see the seven-year-old turning up in a bumper. Saratoga Lass and Reine Machine are probably more exposed than most but have place claims. Brookline made the frame twice in maiden hurdles for Paddy Roche and is now with Willie Mullins so is sure to attract interest but NORTH OF NASHVILLE’s second over timber at Cork in November is stronger form and Barry O’Neill will give her every assistance from the saddle. Derek O’Connor’s presence suggests newcomer Nine Graces will also be a factor.
