Conor O'Dwyer tries Prosperity Square in first time headgear in order to bring about a revival, though he's been running poorly while Take A Shot is having his first run since May and his best form is on testing ground. ALL OR NOW (NAP) changed stables in the summer and produced easily his best run over fences at Ballinrobe last week when a close third to Kanesh with Abarta a long way behind. He's capable of even further progress and looks the one to be on here. Survival's hat-trick bid soon faltered at Galway but it wasn't a bad effort from his new handicap mark and he is expected to get into contention.
