French import TIME FOR MABEL landed a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe in August before an even better run in a very tough Listowel handicap. He reverts to the Flat on what could prove to be a very lenient mark and gets the vote. Tawseef won here in May and again at Roscommon last month but generally likes plenty of give in the ground. Santo Prince scored over 2m1f at Wexford so has no problems with the trip nor does Scenic Star, who has scored over 1m5f at Down Royal and is still on a fair mark. Athenry Boy has run his best races over 1m2f and though Automated is gradually dropping to a winnable mark he's another unproven over the distance. Zemario hasn't won since his debut at Windsor in 2009 but Pat Smullen was on board for the best of his recent runs.
