The consistent Happy Escape has won three times over a mile this year and should go well again but Dark Side Dream is getting no closer despite slipping further down the weights. Saryshagann is another on the drop and looks more favourably handicapped than Air Of York but the Irish raider GUNMAKER may prove good enough in this. A winner at Dundalk earlier in the year, Gavin Cromwell’s charge was placed over today’s trip at Cork last time and looks capable of scoring off his current mark.
