GIUSEPPE CASSIOLI produced his best effort yet for his present yard when runner-up at Killarney in July and, operating from a handy mark/partnered by Colin Keane, he could be worth siding with to build on that now. Purring Along rates a threat, with last year's winner Pimstrel another worth keeping an eye on. Mercurial can't be ruled out either.
