Gerry Hughes Memorial Handicap (45-65) (Div 1)
7f 187y
Going: Good (Good to Yielding in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneCRYSTAL DAWN ran well in better company when fourth to Red Heel over course and distance at the July meeting. Gavin Cromwell's three-time Dundalk winner has yet to win on turf but shouldn't be far away under Gary Carroll. Talking Tough was narrowly defeated when dropping into this grade at Roscommon last week and has good prospects off just a 1lb higher mark. Most of his best form is at right-handed tracks which would be a slight concern as he goes the other way around here. Five-time winner Caesar's Comet has no issues with this venue as he showed when landing a claimer here last month and he has run well in defeat a couple of times since, while the lightly-weighted Accessory has been knocking on the door of late and is another to consider.
