Kihavah looked as though a stiffer test of stamina was required when staying on over 1m4f at Down Royal so the drop in trip isn't certain to suit. LORD PARK is 0-12 but has finished close up several times including in a Gowran handicap last week. It should be his turn soon and his young rider is good value for his claim. Meishar looked a certain future winner after his two opening runs though has been very disappointing but Ballinlough Gale has been running well on ground with plenty of give and it remains to be seen how he handles faster conditions.
