The solid and consistent Michael O'Callaghan-trained PULSING DRAGON can get off the mark for connections at the sixth time of asking. Only The Brave wasn't far behind Dandy Belle in a 6f Curragh handicap on good ground last month and can compete for the minor honours in this contest. The pair Scarlet Skis and Cruella Dovil were not beaten far on their most recent starts last month and are deserving of closer inspection.
