A tricky start as Jimmy The Hat is likely to improve his form figures now tacking handicaps. Fairwood Massini and Tantamount are both recent course and distance winners while Je T'Aime has yet to finish out of the frame under Rules, though hasn't really looked like winning so far. DICK DUNDEE seemed to handle faster ground at Tipperary last month having finished second at Listowel in June. He might be good enough here if the blinkers have the desired effect.
