Sir Ector has been running in strong company on the Flat and it would be no surprise to see him perform well back over timber despite his big weight. Dandridge looked a very smart prospect when easily landing a Galway maiden and makes his handicap debut from what may turn out to be a lenient mark. He's an obvious contender but a chance is taken with WISTY at these weights. He's had a somewhat chequered career and failed to finish in three of his last four but easily beat the hat-trick seeking Portrade in the other at Cork and is still on a handy mark despite an 8lb rise. Swantykay has won twice this summer but hasn't jumped as well on his two latest starts and will need to do better. Ontheground is another to consider after a narrow defeat by Res Ipsa Loquitur at Listowel.
