John McConnell has won the last two of these and Fastman is in such good form that he'll be fancied to defy an 8lb rise for a comfortable Bellewstown victory, especially with Siobhan Rutledge claiming 5lb back. Stormie Outlook has only had six starts and is improving fast judging by his close second at Killarney on Saturday while Lucky Queen and Indiana Grey both won at Cork last week. QAABIL was having his first start for Peter Fahey when scoring with something in hand at Gowran in August and a 6lb rise may not be enough to prevent a double. The consistent Take My Hand is amongst several others to consider in a wide-open handicap.
