Useful gelding. Course winner. Latest win at the Curragh in August. Seemed to excel himself when length third of 6 to Harry's Bar in conditions race over C&D 21 days ago but stiff task on the balance of his form.

Useful filly. Visored for 1st time, creditable third of 17 in handicap at York (5f, good, 6/1) 47 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. British raider from a much respected stable but her draw could have been kinder.

Just a maiden win to her name but did go close at Group level last year. Beaten just under 3 lengths when sixth of 13 in Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot in June but below form back at listed level last time. Makes AW debut with cheekpieces also on first time.

In good form over C&D this autumn, winning a conditions race then second in listed company. Better than result (hampered) in Group 3 Cornwallis at Newmarket 14 days ago and enters the reckoning back on AW.

Forecasts

Alabama (9/4), Bouttemont (5/2), The Highway Rat (10/3), Queen Me (10/1), Twilight Jet (12/1), Harry's Bar (16/1), Big Gossey (18/1), Dun Na Sead (25/1), Pillow Talk (28/1), Ano Syra (28/1), Arnhem (50/1), Lady Tilbury (66/1)

19:00 Dundalk - 27 October 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

If THE HIGHWAY RAT gets away from the stalls better than he did when chasing home Harry's Bar over C&D 3 weeks ago he might be up to landing this Group 3 for the second time in 3 years. French raider Bouttemont wasn't seen to best effect in the Abbaye and is second choice ahead of the aforementioned Harry's Bar and Aidan O'Brien's 2-y-o Alabama.
