Dash D'Or has won three times in recent weeks but shot up the weights as a consequence and couldn't cope here two weeks ago. Confrontational gained his first victory here earlier this month and though that was over 7f he'd been narrowly beaten over this trip on the beach at Laytown. ALFREDO ARCANO has won four times around here and is on the same mark as last successful on the track in July. His last two starts have been on Turf and back on his favourite surface he can gain track victory number five. Ahundrednotout was conceding 3lb to Clare Island when just pipped last month then scored when stepped up a furlong. He's running really well and it will be a surprise if he's not in contention.
