Gunmaker was having his first start for Gavin Cromwell when gaining a surprise victory at Dundalk for which he's gone up 9lb. The stable also run FUWAIRT, four times a winner in the UK and gradually dropping to a winnable mark. Kevin Manning has been booked fr the latter and the combination can take this. Fashaar has gained both victories at Dundalk and hasn't shown the same aptitude for Turf though he holds Mr Ormsby on their run in March. That Is The Spirit won six races in the UK and will have needed his first start for the in-form Richard O'Brien.
