In depth

Verdict

Few of these arrive in any kind of form but GREGORY'S GIFT looks capable of losing her maiden tag soon after a good run over the track and trip. Pride Of Pimlico has been going well at Dundalk, scoring there in March, but Darkest Hour hasn't shown much on Turf. Sinseir ran his best race for some time on the latter track last month while Duquesa Beach, a winner there in November, looked on the way back on the track last month. Praying Mantis gained her first placed effort at Tipperary and wouldn't need much more to get involved.
