FormscanBy Mark Nunan - NEVER BACK DOWN was once rated well over 100 during his time in Britain where he was a four-time winner for Hugo Palmer. He’s finding it hard to get his head in front off his much-reduced mark in Ireland, but he’s twice been runner-up over this course and distance and has Colin Keane aboard for just the second time. Dark Magic has been a very effective handicapper since joining Johnny Levins and added two wins on Turf this summer to his course and distance win here last December. He’s one to consider, along with Helen De Pourtales who defied a six month lay-off when winning over a mile here last month. Billyfairplay is a useful sort who may enjoy a return to the all-weather and his best run of the summer was when second to subsequent winner Royal Canford at the Galway Festival.
