In depth

Verdict

PALMETTO DUNES hasn't built on his close second at the Galway Festival but won't get many easier chances to lose his maiden tag. Johnny Murtagh has his horses flying so Set To Fire has to be considered, though her recent form hasn't been up to scratch. No Approval ran his best race to date at Dundalk and may have found the ground too fast at Gowran last time. Secret Wizard showed enough in his first campaign to suggest he can win races over this trip though it's over a year since he was last seen in action. Majestic Flyer is a sister to the useful sprinter Elysian Flyer and any money for her should be noted as this isn't the most difficult of starts.
