DANDYLEEKIE had little chance in a much better race at Naas on Wednesday and finished last of three behind Toscanini but his overall form is better than this and he can gain the second victory of his career. He has plenty in hand on official ratings over Wider World though the latter was impressive when gaining a surprise victory in a Ballinrobe maiden, with Park Rebel six lengths behind, and can improve further. Jim Bolger won this last year and Tapering shouldn't be written off after just two runs.
