Ken's Sam's is penalised for winning over the minimum trip at Dundalk last week. Dandy Highwayman beat Breathoffreshair to score over track and trip last month but has since finished behind third-placed Scenery here. Astrophysics won at Wolverhampton in December but never figured back at the same track last time and a chance is taken that ROARING RORY proves more consistent. The latter finished in front of Skyva when winning over course and distance in November and has won off higher marks than today in the past.
