In depth

Verdict

Kymin's Way plods around in his own time and probably needs even further and Rare Legend will find this tough on his first start in over a year though he'll enjoy the conditions. Positive Approach ran easily his best race to date over 2m5f at Limerick last month when the going was testing so he has to be considered though SPEED DEMON looks the one to be on after chasing home High Stratos at Navan. Star Counsel will like the stamina test and her allowance can help her get competitive.
