With Barry Geraghty up for trainer Gordon Elliott on THE BIG LENSE the improving five-year-old can continue his progression here and land the spoils following up on his win at Bellewstown in August. Owner J P McManus holds a strong pair here and can provide the biggest danger to the selection with course winner The Gatechecker who won over this trip at the Listowel harvest festival last month. Last time out winner, Offshore Oscar and Potential improver Platinum Empress can fight for the minor places.
