Broughtons Star has plenty of weight but this is a low-grade contest and he should benefit from dropping down in trip after his two runs for new connections since arriving from the UK. Neddyvaughan finished in front of him at Fairyhouse earlier this month but that was over 2m4f which looks his trip. Millen Dollar Man almost produced a shock here three weeks ago when just caught by Game Puppeteer, who runs earlier. That was far and away his best ever run and a repeat would see him in the picture. The veteran Billybuster wasn't beaten far in that latter race but hasn't won for three years so this looks destined for MOSSY ISLAND. Sabrina Harty's charge has been in decent form since returning in July and is just 4lb higher than his victory at Ballinrobe despite placed efforts on his last two starts.
