The newcomer Sameer is worth noting in the betting but has no fancy entries and will need to be above average to get the better of DICK WHITTINGTON. Beaten only a head on his debut, testing ground at the Curragh last time looked a legitimate excuse for a defeat at the hands of Intense Style last time. The Ballydoyle colt will probably carry overweight but can make amends in this with course winner Dandyleekie preferred to Spirit Of Wedza of the remainder.
