Verdict

It's tough to get away from GOLDEN SANDBANKS who comfortably took a Sligo chase off a 3 lb higher mark recently and can land a fourth win since mid-July. Fellow last-time-out chase scorer Red Striker rates a danger. The drop back to 2m should suit John McConnell's Happaugue and he's also on the shortlist along with Edge of My Seat, who appeals as a potenmtial improver now handicapping.

  1. GOLDEN SANDBANKS
