The trip could prove troublesome for a few of these, but not top weight Buachaill Alainn who stays every yard of it and should be in the money. But it's worth taking a chance on DANDY DAN to get the trip - there is stamina on the dam's side that gives some hope he will get it - as he looks nicely treated and might be able to snag an easy lead here. He's worth a bet. Sporting Boy swaps the cheekpieces for his regular blinkers, which may well help his cause, and he can take third.
