With his yard in outstanding form, dual Dundalk winner TOMMY WELSH should improve on his bumper run at Galway and this doesn't look the toughest of maidens so he's handed the vote. Bosco Di Alco hasn't done as well as expected after his bumper victory and has a penalty to carry but winning point-to-pointer Ard Na Carraig did well enough in his two starts over timber in August and he should be in the firing line. Pershing Missile has shown up well in a couple of bumpers while Malpensa won between the flags last month. Harden's only decent run so far was on soft ground so he could do with some rain.
