Havingagoodtime faces an impossible task at the weights and this also looks a tall order for Now Say Yes but only 9lb separates the remaining runners on official ratings. Dylan Hogan steered MOKTAMEL into third place in a valuable apprentices’ race at the Curragh in June. The partnership can confirm that form with Smiling Eliza and Remmy D having only lost out by a nose at Limerick earlier. Maze Runner is proving frustrating but didn’t enjoy much luck in-running over 1m6f at Galway and should make a nice novice hurdler. Maricruz won over a shorter trip at Sligo 10 days ago but has been raised 8lb. Timiniya should enjoy the step up to 1m4f and looks the pick of the remainder.
