Tom Dooley is thriving lately and comes here looking for the four-timer. He's gone up 20lb in that sequence however and cannot surely avoid the handicapper's clutch this time. Arbourfield has done all his winning on the AW but served notice of his well-being on turf last time out at Fairyhouse, ensuring he's also considered. Harry Speed was just denied from the front at Gowran Park last time out and can go well again but this might go the way of BREEZOLINI, who is warming to the task nicely in three runs back form a long absence and makes plenty appeal off his current rating compared with what he was capable of before the layoff.
