IRISH BANDIT (6) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 6f at this track (Dirt) after being in contention all the way. Should race just off the speed despite the wide draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. COUNT DADDY (5) got the job done in grand style last start, scoring by 0.3 lengths over this journey at Pimlico (Dirt) after stalking the lead. In form and will take beating again. BOX N BEN (4) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 3 lengths away in second over 6f at Pimlico (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. HAMPDEN LANE (1) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a sixth over 5f at Pimlico (Dirt). Faces an easier assignment so he will be hard to beat.
