A competitive closing affair which can go the way of DROMBEG BANNER. Ken Condon's charge was highly tried last year and, despite not yet looking the finished article, he improved to get off the mark on handicap debut at Cork last month. He can defy a 10 lb rise in the weights and follow up. Band Width, Ano Syra and Neo Soul are just a handful of others who can also be considered.
