Verdict

BLISTERING DANCER (NAP) gained his first success over this trip on soft ground at Sligo then missed the break completely from a flag start on the sand at Laytown. He's run well on fast going here in the past and can return to winning ways. Red Laser was less than a length behind him at Sligo and has since won easily at Gowran so there shouldn't be much between them again. Al Fahidi is still a maiden but is rarely beaten far though mostly over longer trips. Enigma Code was racing from a 19lb higher mark at this time a year ago and looked on the way back at Laytown last week while Headlong had some decent form for Brian Meehan in the UK and new connections will be hoping he can get off to a winning start.
