tracked leader, challenged and drifted slightly towards winner over 1f out where on terms, narrowly headed and drifted slightly left inside final furlong, stayed on well, just failed
tracked leaders in 3rd, no impression under pressure and kept on same pace from over 1f out
led, pushed along and pressed from over 2f out, joined over 1f out, soon narrowly in front again and stayed on well to just prevail
raced last of the 4, pushed along into straight, soon no impression
Drombeg's Choice doesn't have the form for this but any of the remaining trio could be successful. Precious Dream scored over 6f at Dundalk last month and is likely to take them along at a good pace but it's a surprise to see Penniston Line dropping to this trip after he made a winning debut over a mile there a couple of weeks ago. CRIMSON SUNRISE also scored over a mile last season but won over today's trip at Navan earlier so just gets the vote.
