Verdict

EYE OF DUBAI bounced back to form in no uncertain terms last week and looks well treated as he attempts to win this race for an incredible third time in a row. He may ideally want softer ground, but he scored on good going in this race last year and looks sure to go well. His biggest danger may be his in-form stablemate Dark Thirty, while Another Baar is lurking from falling mark and could go well at bigger odds.

7	Useful sprinter at best and comes here not only having won the last 2 renewals of this contest, but also having bounced back to land a gamble in the Ayr Bronze Cup just last week. A 5 lb rise leaves him on the same mark he defied in this contest last year (good going) and he looks sure to go well. 1st Pick 7 Eye Of Dubai Jockey: Jason Hart Trainer: John & Sean Quinn J: Jason Hart T: John & Sean Quinn	100	-	-	-	34%

1	Better than ever this year, winning at Chester in June and twice running really well at the Curragh since, including when third of 24 13 days ago. Very interesting contender for a stable that also runs another strong candidate. 2nd Pick 1 Dark Thirty (Ire) Jockey: Jake Dickson Trainer: John & Sean Quinn J: Jake Dickson T: John & Sean Quinn	99	-	-	-	15%

8	Gone the wrong way since scoring at Bahrain in January but his mark is now an interesting one and recent seventh of 23 at Ayr last week gave more encouragement so he's not one to discount with a couple of C&D wins to his name. 3rd Pick 8 Another Baar Jockey: Oisin Mcsweeney Trainer: Adrian Keatley J: Oisin Mcsweeney T: Adrian Keatley	98	-	-	-	5%
