In From The Cold, a winner here in August, made a bold bid to concede Flying Scotsman 6lb at Galway, the winner completing a double initiated the previous day. Mick Mulvany also runs another course winner in Ideal Pal, who also ran well at Galway last week. Dermot Weld tries Bashiyr in a visor after an improved run at the Curragh after which he's been dropped 2lb while Mr Mooj, who scored over a mile at Dundalk, only just failed to concede 12lb to Shake A Leg over 1m4f at Leopardstown. AMBITIOUS APPROACH returned after a long break to be beaten a short-head over a mile at Navan in June and looks the type to make strides this campaign so gets the nod as Sicario could find this on the short side after scoring over 1m5f here last month.
