It will be a big shock if this prize doesn't go back to Ireland, and THE FRIDAY MAN could be the one. He won impressively at Tramore and Bellewstown before a fine third behind a subsequent winner at Galway and another bold bid looks assured. Cirque Royal brings winning C&D form to the table and he must enter calculations, while Estepona Sun and Gold Cup Bailly add further spice to the race.
Prediction : 1st The Friday Man 2nd Cirque Royal 3rd Estepona Sun

GET WITH IT was a determined winner over C&D last time and a 5lb rise in the ratings might not be enough to anchor him if arriving in the same mood. Castletown also brings winning course form to the table, albeit over timber, and he shouldn't be far away at the finish here, while Raddle And Hum certainly isn't out of this either.
Prediction : 1st Get With It 2nd Castletown 3rd Raddle And Hum

A number of these look to hold claims, so AL MUFFRIH receives what can only be a tentative vote. He was touched off at Sedgefield last time and he is likely to be in the shake-up again. Southwell scorer She's A Rocca also merits consideration as a 5lb higher mark is unlikely to prevent another bold showing, while you can also make a good case for Bella Beau.
Prediction : 1st Al Muffrih 2nd Shes A Rocca 3rd Bella Beau

HERMANN CLERMONT goes in the pursuit of the hat-trick here and, although 9lb higher than his last win, Gordon Elliott's five-year-old should take some stopping if in the same form. The biggest danger could be Some Detail if building on his fourth at Market Rasen last time when returning from a break, while Pat's Pick can't be completely ruled out despite the fact he's been in pretty poor form of late.
Prediction : 1st Hermann Clermont 2nd Some Detail 3rd Pats Pick

With four of the six intended runners winning on their last start, this looks extremely competitive. Slight preference is for LAKE SHORE DRIVE in pursuit of the hat-trick after his C&D win last month and, although an 8lb rise makes life tougher, it shouldn't prevent another bold showing. The Wounded Knee is respected on handicap debut after he won a maiden hurdle here last time, but the one to follow the selection home might be Nicky Richards' veteran Caius Marcius.
Prediction : 1st Lake Shore Drive 2nd Caius Marcius 3rd The Wounded Knee

Despite having to give plenty of weight away to her rivals, it is difficult to oppose AYR OF ELEGANCE in her current form. She followed up a win at Stratford in July with a decent second under a penalty 11 days later, and a reproduction of either of those efforts should be good enough in this company. Topkapi Star looks most likely to follow the selection home if none the worse for taking a tumble here last month, while Misscarlett is fancied to finish ahead of Ten Gs.
Prediction : 1st Ayr Of Elegance 2nd Topkapi Star 3rd Misscarlett
