Verdict
Look At Me hasn't won since her debut at Fairyhouse a year ago and has disappointed on a couple of occasions. ANAM ALLTA hasn't had much racing but beat a big field in a Galway handicap before a very promising run behind Alanza in a Listed event over the C&D in August. She can improve enough to take this and three-year-olds have a good record in the race. The tough and consistent Bay Knight should be competitive as always but Across The Rhine is penalised for his Group 3 victory at the Curragh in July. Luisant was in superb form at this time a year ago but hasn't shown much of late.
