In depth

Verdict

GREATNESS has thrived since stepping up in trip and followed a close third over 1m6f at Wexford, when Darraghs Day was just behind, with a victory over hurdles at Kilbeggan. He has a superb pedigree and can be expected to progress again so this looks an ideal opportunity to gain his first success on the Flat. Undecided went up 3lb for finishing fourth to Colla Pier, who runs in Division One, here last month. That was only his sixth career start and there should be more to come. Duarte Fernandes hasn't shown much and makes his handicap debut so Mind The Pennies looks more of a threat as he looked an improved performer over this trip at Tramore last time.
