Blenheim Palace didn't get the run of the race on his handicap debut at Leopardstown and Ryan Moore's presence suggests better is expected. Killarney maiden winner Third World has run two good races on softer going than he would have liked this season so wouldn't want more rain. Conor Hogan makes his handicap debut after promising maiden form though this looks a tough start and KING'S VOW (NAP) looks a more likely winner. An easy maiden winner at Dundalk in November, he reappeared earlier this month with an eye-catching run at Leopardstown and is on the same mark. Loughmore starts out in handicaps after three decent runs in maidens over shorter and his pedigree suggests this will be his trip.
