In depth

Verdict

Enter The Red won over track and trip before just missing out against Ice Cold In Alex over the minimum trip here last time and that pair are hard to separate. Polly Douglas continues to improve and was winning for the third time this year when scoring at Navan recently. She’s upped a further 5lb but Ducky Mallon has been thereabouts off today’s mark of late. PALAVICINI RUN scored at Fairyhouse last month and was narrowly beaten at the same track on her latest start. She’s taken to go one better with Donagh O’Connor’s allowance helping her cause.
