In depth

Verdict

Dermot Weld should get a race out of Spryt before too long though he's taking a big drop in trip after racing over 7f and a mile and tackles the surface for the first time. Whether he'll have the pace for this is unknown but DANDYLEEKIE certainly will having scored over the trip on his debut at Navan. He's since performed with credit in better company over an extra furlong and blinkers can enable him to get back on the winning trail. Arriana has run twice in Listed company since her Bellewstown victory and she's no forlorn hope in this lower grade though she was only a head in front of Folk Law at Tipperary in July. Sassy But Classy completes the line-up and she's also closely matched with Folk Law on their run behind Simply A Star at Tipperary.
