Several of these have had enough chances and TREBIZOND was odds-on when beaten seven lengths on this course with Boom Boom Boom close behind and Boola Boola well beaten. But the winner ran well in a Grade B handicap at Listowel last week so the form may be good enough for this. Winning point-to-pointer Andys Flame started a short-priced favourite for a Sligo bumper but was well beaten though this should be more his game while Figurehead had Custers Mistake five lengths behind when placed at Galway. Stumptown and The Goffer have both been placed between the flags and are with yards that can get one ready.
