Marino Marvel is still a maiden after 19 starts and though runner-up over the track and trip last week he never looked like winning. ROCK ON DANDY was having his first start for Fergal Birrane when gaining a comfortable victory at that same fixture. He's up 7lb but that doesn't look enough to prevent a quick double. Asian Wing ran his best race for a very long time when runner-up over a trip too short a fortnight ago while Pillard has joined a new yard after racing consistently on the Flat and over hurdles for Jonjo O'Neill. Whatever It Takes is will treated on his best form and wins his share so is respected while Dara Tango is just 1lb higher than his victory at Galway in August.
