In depth

Verdict

Farnese was well supported on his first start for new connections at Leopardstown a couple of weeks ago where he ran well for a long way over that mile. His former trainer has Rudisha engaged here and he also appeared to struggle over a mile at Naas. The veteran Tribal Path has dropped to a lowly mark these days so has to be respected but Crystal Dawn, a close third in a Dundalk claimer in February, is 10lb higher on Turf. LADY SONIA is on a low enough mark nowadays to get back to winning ways with Andrew Slattery's claim a major plus so she gets the nod in a tricky handicap.
