Verdict
PRAIRIE GIRL shaped well after a break when making the frame at the Curragh in August and she can build on that effort to resume winning ways. Heading the list of dangers is Harry's Hill, who arrives on the back of a comfortable success at the Curragh, with Gotta Catch'Em All and Cuban Grey completing the shortlist.

VerdictHas benefited from the drop to sprinting with blinkers fitted, scoring at this course and Naas (both at 6f) in July. Soon bounced back from a lesser effort when third of 9 here 6 days ago, despite doing too much too soon. Interesting having first try over this trip. - 1. Prairie GirlJ: T.

VerdictMaking second start in cheekpieces, showed improved form when opening account with a ready success in 12-runner handicap at Cork 19 days ago. Races off 13 lb higher here so will need to find more again.- 10. Harrys HillJ: P. A. HarnettT: Martin HassettF: 67060621

VerdictReturned from a break with a pair of placed efforts at Naas in July and the Curragh in August. Possibly found the race coming too soon after just 6 days off back at the Curragh last time, so he's worth treating as if still in good heart. Switches to blinkers.

VerdictCapitalised on a slipping mark at Dundalk (5f) in May and has made the frame twice at the Curragh this summer. Shaped as if still in good form over 6f when fifth of 12 at Dundalk 18 days ago, forcing the pace, and the return to this trip should suit.

VerdictFitted with a visor when getting off the mark for the year at the Curragh (6f) in August. Can have his run excused over the same C&D 11 days ago, having gone off too hard under a marked change of tactics. Drops back in trip.

VerdictWon at this course and Bellewstown to start the campaign and shaped well when third at the Curragh. Those races came on soft/heavy ground and was only eighth at Fairyhouse (6f, good to soft) in June. Any rain would be in his favour.
