Legal Thriller just failed to catch Angel's Trumpet over a mile at Killarney and again has Willie Byrne's claim in his favour. Dance Emperor, who was staying on strongly in third, is 1-35 and difficult to side with. Muntahez was also running on at Cork and Colin Keane again takes the ride but the vote goes to EXTENSIO. He's taking his time to reach his peak but his last three runs have all been progressive yet he's dropping in the ratings. Odd Venture ran well on occasions at Dundalk and made most under 10lb claimer Sorcha Woods at Cork for which a 4lb rise looks lenient though runner-up Must Be Dreaming was possibly unlucky in-running.
