Verdict
The Duke Of Marmalade gelding Wooster is a likely improver. The four-year-old On The Go Again ran respectably at Roscommon and has won over hurdles. Mystic Traveller stepped up on his first run when third at Navan in April but it should be third-time lucky for TWO FOR TEA. Jessica Harrington’s filly, a half-sister to three winners, was just beaten by Furiosa at Gowran on her second start and the pair pulled well clear of the remainder. Spiral Galaxy has shown some ability and will be an interesting prospect for a handicap after this.
