CRYSTAL MARINER (1) ran well on his first two hurdle starts at Ballinrobe and at Newton Abbot before disappointing in a deeper race at Navan. This looks more realistic and he rates a major player. STATE PENSION (4) made a pleasing start to jumping at Navan and is entitled to improve from that first outing. Holds every chance. MIDTOWN MANHATTAN (6) returned from a year off delivering a disappointing performance at Ballinrobe. Drops in trip and worth giving another go with fitness now assured. ABANDO (8) made a pleasing start for these connections a week ago. Might take a big step forward. Rates highly among this company.

Recent form hard to fault. Last outing finished fourth of 15 runners at Listowel on September 25 over 3721m, 16 len behind Reaching High carrying 75.5kg at $21. Before that finished fourth of 9 starters at Killarney on August 22 over 3319m, 7 len behind Teofil carrying 73kg at $10. Continues to improve. Can do a lot better.
