Dream Point has a poor strike-rate but found only one too good at Tramore last Saturday. WALKABOUT was beaten more than 10 lengths behind Ally Cay at Roscommon in June but should get much closer over this longer trip on 14lb better terms and may offer some value. Arcland was a good third at the Curragh last month but didn’t quite run up that form when favourite at Leopardstown three weeks later while Vita Veritas is still a maiden, though her second at Cork on Sunday was a step forward. Drummer is also entitled to respect on his second over course and distance last month and Day Dreamin' also did better here last time.
