Rowanberry has hit form at the right time for this and is given the nod over Golband and Binty, while Sound That Alarm is one to bear in mind if any rain arrives before the off. The last named suffered a series of misfortunes during his time with Gerard Butler and then, when he did finally manage to win a race, he was claimed for ¿12,000 by his current trainer. He holds a fair amount of ability but needs a little give underfoot to be seen at his best. Binty had shown nothing before running out a surprise winner at Yarmouth earlier in the month. She obviously knows what to do when push comes to shove but does not strike as one to be going overboard about in her repeat bid. Golband ran a race full of encouragement when second at Yarmouth eleven days ago. However, she is taking on the colts and geldings this time and faces a stiff test at the weights. Therefore, we turn to Rowanberry, who has progressed with each run this season. The daughter of Bishop Of Cashel will also appreciate a little give underfoot but has already proved to be effective enough on the predicted going to get the vote in this company.
