Nine of these are course winners with Whatharm having won six of his seven races here. He's been well beaten off much lower marks on Turf but don't be surprised by a return to form. SMILE OF LOVE (NAP) was having only her fifth start when landing a Bellewstown maiden by 10 lengths. The runner-up has won subsequently and an opening handicap mark of 88 looks lenient. Rocky Dreams is 5-14 on the track and has won his last three here. He's on the same mark as when getting up close home over 6f a fortnight ago and looks certain to go well. That's Just Dandy went to Windsor for a Racing League handicap and came away with a head victory. He started favourite for a premier handicap at Leopardstown next time but ran a shocker which wasn't his form.
