Verdict
Karaoke wasn't beaten far on his debut at Gowran before landing a Dundalk maiden and there's more to come. Jake Coen's claim gives him an obvious chance but he still has to concede weight to HASTEN SLOWLY, who improved again at Leopardstown and looks progressive enough to go in again. Palace Gardens has changed trainers since losing her maiden tag here while Johnny Murtagh runs two with Bossy Parker possibly the best with Jamie Powell's claim to aid his cause.
