In depth
Verdict
Danish Duke showed potential in his first two runs but was a disappointment on his first start over this trip at Gowran. Red All Star may have found the ground too fast at Gowran after a very good effort behind Beyond Brilliance at Fairyhouse. Kings Ryker was having his first start since September when attempting to make all over a mile at the Curragh last month. He looked in need of the run and will come on though RIGHTWAY, who was making his debut and finished a couple of places in front of him, looks to have even more potential and can gain compensation for those who supported him into favouritism. Texas Rock ran well for a long way before fading in that latter event and will be much better suited by this shorter trip so looks a danger.
