Verdict

KHUKRI was a 25/1 chance on his debut over the track and trip but made an impressive start, leading until headed at the furlong pole by Intelligence Cross. With improvement virtually guaranteed Jessica Harrington's charge should go one better. Several of his rivals have similar form including Ice Canyon, who led for a long way at Cork, and Ice Cold In Alex, who looked as though a longer trip than this would suit when third at Gowran. In Somno has plenty of pace in her pedigree so should be ideally suited by this trip while Desert Heights is from the first crop of the brilliant So You Think and is worth noting in the market.
