DANDY LAND arrives on an upward curve after winning over C&D earlier in the month and, with the prospect of further progress, is taken to defy a 7 lb rise. Tawaazon boasts a good record at this course and shaped as if on the way back last time, so is likely to prove the main threat if building on that, while Steel Magnolia, who bounced back when second here last time, and recent Cork second Simmering Seas should also be firmly in the mix.
