Flowing Air is still a maiden and probably a few pounds high while Cottesloe has yet to prove he stays this far. Carraroe Flyer has no problems with the distance but has suffered in the weights after completing a double in the summer. Grandma Dotty went up 8lb for her Roscommon victory but still ran well at Ballinrobe though she's another unproven over the trip. NOTABLE GRADUATE hasn't had much racing recently but looked ready to win soon when just failing to catch Tooreen Legend at Gowran on Thursday. He has no problems staying the trip and looks a cut above these rivals. Knight's Parade has been running well enough to consider for a place on the podium.
