16/1, first run since leaving Harry Derham when second of 10 at this course (8.6f) on Flat debut 11 days ago. That was much more like it and the winner looks promising. Leading claims.

€75,000 foal, 55,000 gns yearling, Dandy Man colt. Closely related to 2-y-o 5f winner Just Past Andover and half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 5.5f Elnadim Star. Fair bit to like on paper and makes belated debut in winnable event.

Fairly useful gelding. Good second of 12 in handicap at this course (6.1f, 11/4) 14 days ago. Hard to beat on that display.

Forecasts

Verdansk (8/15), Mapogo (4/1), Thats Dandy Harry (7/1), Hombre (8/1), Cobh Harbour (18/1), Pierrefonds (40/1), Daffin (125/1), Eskimo Flo (125/1), Metal Beau (200/1), Lord Whitemere (250/1)

Verdict

A decent opening for VERDANSK after his fine second in a 6f handicap here last time. That's 2 good races he's run on AW and this longer trip will suit Henry Candy's charge. Mapogo and Hombre are dangerous, while Thats Dandy Harry is worth a look first time up.
