Mousey Brown won a bumper and a maiden hurdle at Wexford before well beaten on her chasing bow at Kilbeggan. FOXFIRE GLOW made his stamina count when scoring over 2m6f at Downpatrick and Mark Walsh will ensure a test of stamina here. Hidalgo Des Mottes has been going well in handicaps though is still a maiden and Katou has been very disappointing since winning here in June. Thunder and Bynx have also won around here and can't be dismissed in a competitive event in which the remaining pair can't be discounted.
