Darren Bunyan goes hunting this nice pot with four entries headed by Chandigah, who just lost out in a battle with Mountain Bear at the Curragh a couple of weeks ago. Ocean Baroque may need another furlong but West Of Wichita was headed on the line over the trip at Bellewstown last week when Buddy Batt stayed on under today's rider. CLONMACASH improved massively for his opening run when a little unfortunate in-running at Down Royal and can gain compensation. The very speedily-bred Answer Me Nay is related to winners but was cheaply bought hence her low weight in this auction race. Comein Comein is speedily-bred and her yard know how to get one ready.
