Verdict
DANDYVILLE gained the seventh victory of his career and his third here last month and, though now on his highest-ever mark, looks capable of completing a double. Mehman's three career victories have all been here and he would have finished closer at Navan last month had he got the run of the race. Tawaazon has an excellent strike-rate and has already won six races this year, including two here, so can never be left out of calculations nor can Hodd's Girl, a six-times winner on the track. Harmony Rose and Little Queenie are other to consider in a wide-open handicap.
