Verdict
Nam is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and is just 1lb higher than when successful at Leopardstown in August. Mountain Fox has won over hurdles but is 0-24 on the Flat and appeared to find an extended 1m1f too short at Gowran last time. ACCLADORA was returning from a very long absence and had dropped to a lowly mark when runner-up at Gowran a couple of weeks ago. She doesn't have much more to do and her trainer has ben amongst the winner so she can go one better. Tynamite started favourite in that latter event but had no luck in-running and connections will be looking for compensation. Munfallet has won eight races but has struggled from his raised mark after scoring at Dundalk. Hidden Spark would be a threat if getting a run from his reserve spot.
