FormscanBy Gary Carson - GOLDEN SANDBANKS bids for a hat-trick here and should be able to grab another victory in this grade. Paul Flynn's charge beat He's Leading Me On down in Limerick on his penultimate start and that rival has advertised that form since with two wins. Last time out Golden Sandbanks made a successful debut over fences at Tramore off a pound lower mark than this and he is now rated half a stone lower back over timber. Rossies Tara has been runner-up on her last two outings, including here early last month, and could be a danger. A Mere Bagatelle is another coming into the race in decent form and has to be in the mix.
