Fassbender was beaten a long way when third at Ballinrobe and will need to do much better but Sacchoandvanzetti would have finished much closer at Listowel but for his saddle slipping. Dinard Rose won three times on the Flat during the summer and her yard is going well while Guinevere has been running well without winning on the level. ISOTOPE scored on the Flat at Cork in April and only had two subsequent starts. His dam was a winning hurdler so he's taken to get off the mark at the first time of asking.
