Fire Dragon, La Lambertine and Looks The Business will probably have this between them and we will side with Fire Dragon to score. A comfortable winner in similar company at Bangor last month, the Jonjo O'Neill-trained Fire Dragon has been keeping better company on the level and handles a bit of cut if his Irish win is anything to go by. He has the most solid form for us to go on here and we will not shy away from him. La Lambertine has a fair bit to find with the selection on their running at Bangor and Martin Pipe will be hoping that the filly, who won on very soft ground in her native France, will be more at home on this surface than the quick ground she encountered last time. If that is the case then we expect her to finish much closer. Looks The Business was another involved at Bangor, finishing in front of La Lambertine, but thus far the gelding has failed to perform on this sort of ground and so we are confident placings can be reversed there, though he may be good enough to make the frame. Be that the case or not, we are happy to take Fire Dragon to be too hot for them.
