Gorgeous Tom (4/6), Apple's Of Bresil (10/3), Croke Park (7/2), Smallcraftwarning (40/1)

GORGEOUS TOM is a consistent sort who shaped well when third in the Galway Plate in July and looks to have found a good opportunity to gain a first chase win since graduating from novice company. Croke Park is a smart performer on his day and feared most, particularly if allowed an easy lead, while Apple’s Of Bresil has taken well to chasing and remains with potential for better still now stepping back up in trip.
