Verdict

Moveable Asset won a maiden on heavy ground over the C&D in August and has been racing on the Flat subsequently. He will almost certainly improve but will need to if he's to see off TED VEALE, whose narrow defeat by Sizing Rio in a Navan Grade 3 is comfortably the best form on view. Musawama won a Downpatrick maiden before a poor run at Limerick and he's another who has run on the Flat recently while neither the progressive Starkie nor Carries Darling can be entirely ruled out though the latter is held by the selection on their run at Listowel in September.
