FormscanBy Mark Nunan - DAWN OF THE WEST has been lightly-raced since winning a maiden at Killarney two years ago but bounced back to form with a fine second over two miles at Thurles. She was nicely clear of the remainder when going down by half a length to dour stayer Anyonecanhaveitall and maybe a slight drop in trip will be to her advantage. She can build on that good run and defy a 4lb hike. All Class was a big improver on soft ground earlier in the season but burst blood vessels when disappointing over hurdles in August. She starts out for an equally shrewd trainer here and will be a danger if back to her best. Weather Alert was a fine second on testing ground at the Curragh in May but hasn’t been seen since, while bumper winner Dani Barcelona and the well-bred Mitigated Risk are interesting handicap debutants from powerful yards.
