    Verdict

    TOPMAN DANDY is from the first crop of that fine sprinter Dandy Man and showed enough on his debut in very testing conditions at the Curragh to suggest he'll be good enough for this. Gwen Lady Byron is also by Dandy Man out of a mare who won over 7f as a juvenile so she should be a speedy type while Blazing Focus is by another first-season sire, Intense Focus, who was a very speedy two-year-old. Moss Nation should be suited by further in time.
