        Verdict

        Athassel is tried in a visor and has a chance if the headgear works. Compass Hill wears blinkers after failing to justify favouritism at Dundalk in a race in which Street Taipan finished second. The latter must go well if translating that form to Turf but GRIKO has been racing over further since going close over this trip at Leopardstown in July and warrants another chance. Downforce appears to have the beating of Falcao and looks the pick of the remainder.
