Going - Soft, Soft to Heavy in places (H'dle C'rse), Yielding, Soft in places (S'chse C'rse). Overcast

Formscan By Michael Graham - Don't Let Go's chance would be further advertised by a good showing from Head Turner in the 2.55 race on this card. She was beaten into second by that rival at Fairyhouse last month. This is a step up in trip, however, for Don't Let Go so she may be best watched today. HAWK EYE DOWN certainly won't be lacking in stamina the way he stormed home over an extended two miles seven in Thurles. He has been hit with 9lbs for that success but he was good value for the winning margin of five and a half lengths. Unsurprisingly, cheekpieces are retained after being sported for the first time in Thurles. Rancher Lass and Se Mo Laoch both won on their last appearances. The ground will be very different to what Rancher Lass encountered in Musselburgh and what Se Mo Laoch faced in Sligo. The latter also hasn't been out since July. The former did win a point-to-point on soft to heavy so could get involved.
