After his exploits over hurdles, when landing a gamble at Navan, DREAL DEAL looked a snip from a mark of 45 on the level at Limerick on Saturday and obliged with the minimum of fuss. This is a slightly better race but a 6lb penalty is unlikely to prevent a hat-trick. Han Solo had been narrowly beaten in three mid-summer handicaps before battling on strongly to score over a mile here last month for which he's been raided 5lb. Harvey Specter is better than he showed at Limerick on Saturday where he bolted going down to the post while Poster Child made a promising handicap debut at Navan last week where she didn't quite get the run of the race.
