This is extremely competitive with recent course and distance winner Clara Sorrento continuing in excellent form though climbing the weights as a consequence. Dysios was chasing for most of last season but found his form in no uncertain terms back over timber with an impressive victory at Gowran. He's a heavy-ground performer so more rain would aid his cause and he holds Line Out and Sharps Choice on that run despite going up 9lb. Runyon Rattler prefers good ground as he demonstrated at Bellewstown in August while Prince Garyantle could hardly have won more easily at Clonmel though not surprisingly he's been hit with a 15lb rise. Benkei is up even higher after his easy victory at Roscommon and he's run in top company on the Flat subsequently while Prince Charmin' is 9lb higher than his victory at Cork in May. JUST GET CRACKING had been chasing before reverting to hurdles at Tramore where he won with plenty in hand. He's up 10lb but should make a bold bid to complete a double.
