Earl Of Bantry to find the front in the small field. DREAM HOUR (3) has placed over this track and trip and will have come on with that first-up effort now under the belt. Drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and should be right there at the business end. SAILOR'S SECRET (2) is two from two over this course and distance and gets some weight relief with the 2kg claim. Can play a role in the outcome. The well-related LIVING FREE (1) (half to G1 winner Warning) is a bit hit or miss but is more than capable enough on his day. Respect any push in betting. EARL OF BANTRY (5) is a two-time winner over this distance range and will find this easier than recent outings in town. In the mix on best figures. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Dream Hour.
