FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Runner-up in the Spring Mile at Doncaster last time, FAR FROM DANDY can go one place better. The Stephen Thorne-trained gelding had earlier run a huge race when staying on late to finish fourth in the Irish Lincoln at the Curragh. Freshened up since that latest run, the four-year-old should be spot on for this assignment and, he has the services of Colin Keane once again. Red Charlie, who suffered a nightmare passage when second over 7f at the Curragh last time, holds every chance if staying this extra furlong. Only 3lb higher now, the Andrew Slattery-trained gelding looks ahead of the handicapper. Cork winner Final Voyage should appreciate stepping back up in trip after a solid run last time.
An extended handicap for four years old and upwards (100 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
