Verdict

It could pay to take a chance on GREATNESS AWAITS who was much improved as a hurdler for current connections and may do better as a chaser with sights lowered, while course winner Sleeping Satellite may be able to reverse his recent Bangor form with hat-trick seeking Neigh Botha.

#/Silk	Horse#/Horse	Power Rating	High Speed	Win %	Top 3%	Win Prob	Odds
2	Improved for current yard over hurdles, beating a subsequent listed handicap hurdle winner when landing a double at Killarney in July. Has shown an aptitude for chasing, for all he was well held in a deeper race on handicap bow at Wexford last time. Likely to prove capable of better at some stage. 1st Pick 2 Greatness Awaits (Ire) Jockey: Jordan Colin Gainford Trainer: Cian Michael Collins, Ireland J: Jordan Colin Gainford T: Cian Michael Collins, Ireland	90	-	-	-	15%	6/1

5	Course winner bounced back to form in a first-time tongue tie when making all in a 7-runner handicap at Stratford (19.4f) and shaped as if still in good form when chasing home Neigh Botha at Bangor. 2 lb better off with that rival and should give another good account back up in trip. 2nd Pick 5 Sleeping Satellite (Ire) Jockey: J. Hogan Trainer: Fergal O'brien J: J. Hogan T: Fergal O'brien	100	-	-	-	23%	7/2

4	Hasn't always been the most assured jumper but had no problems in that department when landing back-to-back handicaps last month, albeit a fortunate winner when 9 lengths ahead of Sleeping Satellite at Bangor (17.4f). Back up in trip for hat-trick bid and should remain competitive off 2 lb higher. 3rd Pick 4 Neigh Botha (Ire) Jockey: Toby Wynne Trainer: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero J: Toby Wynne T: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	98	-	-	-	46%	6/5
