John McConnell has booked Seamie Heffernan for Sweet November, who is interesting having had three runs in France. The stable also run Blankiedoodle, four-times a winner but usually in need of his opening run. FUGACIOUS has now had 22 starts without winning and has been expensive to follow. However, he's rarely beaten far and perhaps the better conditions can finally see him off the mark. Ballycaines had been going well until a poor run at the Curragh when the selection finished runner-up. The veteran Munfallet has won around here and has slipped to his lowest mark for a long time.
