Early Dundalk form was quite promising, recent third at Tipperary provides encouragement

All three wins have come on soft or worse, any further easing of the ground would help
5 (14)	Wing Glider Chestnut J:Gavin Ryan T:Richard Brabazon	J:Gavin Ryan T:Richard Brabazon	140	—	7767-0	57	61	52	24d	—	—	-1	2.7	8.25/1	33/1 3%

1m4f winner, good effort at Ballinrobe in July was over 1m5f, this trip may be inadequate
NR (13)	Beat The Devil Bay J:Shane Foley T:Patrick Magee	J:Shane Foley T:Patrick Magee	129	t	050	52	61	25	99d	—	—	—	0.5	—	—
