This can go to DANDYS GOLD, who escapes a penalty for victory at Limerick in April. That race was a close run thing but this specialist trip looked ideal for this filly that day and the ground is likely to be similar here. She is the selection in a competitive looking race, ahead of Betty Loch, who seemed to improve through her maidens, and A Little Bit Me, who can come on from a close fourth at Cork last time.
