Camakasi improved as last year went on and his three final runs on this track suggested he will be winning soon. Dixie Highway has shown nothing but Eloge will have come on for her run behind Prince Of All a fortnight ago. That winner is trained by Paul Deegan, who won this last year and has his string in tremendous form. Tonight's representative BINT DANDY took a long time to warm up on her debut last month but stayed on nicely when getting the hang of things and can continue the stable's superb run. Johnny Murtagh's newcomer Jocular is the third foal of a mare who has produced two winners already including the useful Lolly For Dolly so he's greatly respected.
