DUNKIRK HARBOUR makes a quick return to action after being beaten when long odds-on over 1m2f here a week ago. He led until the final furlong that day and though unlikely to justify his $185,000 price tag a moderate contest such as this should be within his compass. Queen Guanhumara ran quite well on her reappearance at Leopardstown and the drop in trip won't be a problem while Casa Romano made a promising debut on the same track in October. The remainder with experience have shown little so Jungle Gypsy, a half-sister to five winners, is more likely to get involved.
