Verdict

Eastern Legend has been making good progress and a 6lb rise for beating today's rival Alma Libre at Down Royal doesn't look excessive. Turbulence was very unlucky in-running when beaten a short-head by the in-form Golden Spangle at Naas and should make a bold bid to go one better. However, LUKE SHORT also didn't get the clearest of runs on his first start since May last year and was only half-a-length behind so he can come out on top here. God Knows is still a maiden but not for long judging by a head defeat here in a maiden here on Sunday while Deakin is an interesting handicap debutant.
