Erosandpsyche won a decent handicap at Cork a fortnight ago and should confirm running with third-placed Moss Tucker on today’s more favourable terms. PRISONER’S DILEMMA races over the minimum trip for the first time but a repeat of a second in Listed company over 6f at the Curragh in June should see him bang there at the finish. Both Beautiful Sunshine and Shelly Banks have a bit to find with a couple of these and the remaining pair have no chance at the weights.
