In depth

Verdict

Well Joey is the only course and distance winner and he's won from higher marks. Union Park has never won over fences but went close at Tipperary earlier this month while KING FERDINAND (NAP), a winning hurdler in the UK, made a promising start for new connections on his chasing debut at Killarney where he would have finished closer but for being hampered. He holds Definiteadare on that run but Early Arrival has never won after a dozen starts, though remains on a lowly mark. The latter would have a chance on his penultimate run but Lessofdnegativity has gone backwards in his recent starts.
