GOLDEN SANDBANKS would have been on a five-timer but for a narrow defeat at Bellewstown. Two of his victories have been over fences but he's as effective over timber and has plenty in his favour. Red Striker finished ten lengths behind him over fences at Tramore but easily landed a handicap chase at Ballinrobe earlier this month having scored over timber at Sligo earlier. Well Funded defied a last-flight mistake to get up close home at Listowel last week when well supported. He's 5lb higher but looks likely to get into contention while Peace Party doesn't win often but regularly reaches a place at this sort of level. Downthecellar completed a four-timer over fences last year and is on a much lower mark over timber.
