River Derwent, having his first start since December and making his debut for Joseph O'Brien, came with a late run to snatch the spoils at Leopardstown last month and could be leniently treated. Jungle Cove heads the ratings after going up 7lb for a convincing victory at Gowran while Amazed By Grace was staying on strongly on the latter track under a huge weight. SHERKIN ISLAND has been handed a mark of 88 for making all here at the Festival and, with much more to come, can complete a double. Imposing Supreme completed a Festival double and, though raised 5lb, looks certain to get into contention while Doolin Dancer ran a fine race at Killarney last time and is greatly respected.
