Who's That is the only course and distance winner in the line-up though she hasn't been in the best of form. Baroque Style gained his first success over timber at Navan last month but could have done without a 10lb rise so it's DOLLAR AND A DREAM (NAP) who looks the one to be on. Tony Martin's charge, a winner at the Galway Festival, has run in much better company in two subsequent races and performed with credit, especially at Cheltenham last time when not beaten far. Deano has returned from a spell over fences in good heart and can run from an 8lb lower mark over hurdles but the selection's stable companion Spacious Sky, though undoubtedly talented, has a poor strike-rate and has been well beaten on the Flat lately. The five-year-old Fighting Days is improving and battled on to score at Punchestown so a 4lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run.
