Far From Dandy^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jack Kearney⁽³⁾| T: Stephen Thorne| OR: 80

6/1

Shaped well, in first-time cheekpieces, when very good third of 12 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft, 9/2) 16 days ago, left with too much to do. 2 lb rise fair and is one for shortlist.

16/1

Dual winner (both 8f) last year who produced his best effort yet when good second of 7 in minor event at Limerick (6.7f, good, 9/4) 18 days ago. Step back up in trip will suit and holds solid claims.

40/1

3 wins from 9 runs this year. Latest win at Navan in May. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Down Royal (12.9f, good, 22/1) 39 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 092145

Forecasts

Sujet (1/1), Far From Dandy (6/1), Iron Fist (6/1), Mathan (10/1), First Wave (11/1), Ja'marr (16/1), Leaping Star (18/1), Refreshment (18/1), Lady O (33/1), Sunriseontheboyne (40/1)

Preference is for FAR FROM DANDY, who was doing all his best work late on at Killarney last time and remains fairly treated. Sujet and Ja'marr are feared most.
