Verdict

This probably won't take much winning and Charging Indian could be interesting. He's only had seven starts over hurdles and wasn't disgraced at either Killarney or Roscommon earlier this month. Boxer Beat is a long-standing maiden, however, while Hevelius is tried in blinkers after disappointing since scoring on soft ground at Clonmel in June. MARK ME UP was only beaten half-a-length by Face Facts over 2m4f at Cork last month. He's 3lb higher here but Andrew Ring again takes off 7lb and the seven-year-old's stamina will stand him in good stead here. He makes more appeal than the returning Volkis O' Blue and Khayar, who has struggled badly on the Flat this summer.
