The 13L winning margin recorded by BEGGARS ROCK (1) at Thurles (2m5f) was inflated by one falling at the last flight. It was still a highly impressive success and he is tipped to defy a 10lb ratings rise. Also declared here on Sunday. BIRMINGHAM ALABAMA (2) won a maiden hurdle at Wexford in July. Excellent comeback third on handicap debut at Fairyhouse twelve days ago. Likely more to offer. WENDELL'S LASS (9) kept on into third tackling 2m1/2f at Fairyhouse last start. Raised in trip adopting first-time cheekpieces which may suit. Lightly weighted AVANDRA (10) might be able to challenge for a place.
