DUNKIRK HARBOUR isn't a stable star but has won at Dundalk and Killarney and his overall form gives him the edge. In receipt of 5lb, Dean Street Doll looks the main threat as she's competed exclusively at Group level since landing a maiden here on soft ground in April. Titanium Sky is another danger as she has a similar profile with a close second in a Galway Listed event in August the highlight and Andrew Slattery's claim is a bonus. Klute looks best of the remainder though his victory at Fairyhouse in May was on fast going.
