Verdict

Three-year-olds have a good record in this and SEEHARN can keep up the good work. Kevin Prendergast's filly wouldn't want much more rain as her three victories have been achieved on good ground but she ran well over 6f on soft behind Eton Rifles at the Curragh last time and can gain her first success at this level. Northern Rocked looks held on that last run and it's amazing that Glor Na Mara hasn't won a race and he missed yet another good opportunity at Dundalk last week. Testing conditions may bring about a change of fortune so connections will be hoping for more rain. Dandy Boy won a handicap at Meydan in January and was having his first run since when beaten at Dundalk a month ago. He won't mind the trip or going and is always a threat at this level. Stunning View landed a handicap at Galway in July and, though failing when tackling Listed company subsequently, was runner-up in this a year ago.
