Verdict

King Of Dudes had shown ability in maidens before making all on his handicap debut at Leopardstown. A 6lb rise looks fair and he can go well again but TIME OF MY LIFE has to be given a chance to prove his latest run all wrong. He stepped out of maiden sprints to land a massive gamble by 15l on his handicap debut over 1m4f at Wexford and was expected to follow-up under a penalty two days later at Roscommon but flopped when long odds-on. Those two races may have come too close together and he's handed another opportunity here. Circumstances had shown very little before scoring at Dundalk and is the type to improve again but the biggest threat may emerge in the shape of Dragon Khan, runner-up in a huge field at Navan before finding a mile too short at Gowran.
