The Sawyer can complete the hat-trick today at the main expense of Best Actor and Corrib Eclipse. The selection is a big scopey individual and although he was far from fluent last time he looks progressive and with more to come he should be hard to beat. Best Actor is from a stable in red hot form and he won well last time when beating Burren Legend. He is another progressive type and will be thereabouts at the finish. Corrib Eclipse finished tailed off last time but he looked as though he was in need of the run that day so he should strip fitter this afternoon. Gaspara is another from a yard in good form and he is worth a look in the market, but The Sawyer looks a nice type and he can land the prize.
