ISLAND MASTER scored at Galway in September and was having his first start since that month when a very good third at Tramore last month. He was earlier 8l behind the veteran Old Supporter on the latter track but should reverse the form against the fourteen-year-old, who is the only course and distance winner. Dundeedy Lad looked in very good form with two fine runs in May and started favourite at Wexford last month but didn't come up to expectations. Fairymount Boy was very consistent last season but doesn't win often and is looking a few pounds high while Allied Victory is 1-24 over fences.
