In depth

Verdict

Gavin Cromwell's Mutadaffeq ran easily his best race since arriving from the UK when a close fourth at Naas on his handicap debut. He's likely to improve again and should get into contention as should Galuppi, a very good second to Our Jerry at Cork 10 days ago and earlier just over four lengths behind CHOSEN HOUR (NAP) at Thurles. He has a chance of reversing the form at the revised weights though the winner scored with something in hand and was unfortunate to unseat his rider at Fairyhouse when looking well in control. The four-year-old Coral Blue should be winning soon and didn't enjoy the heavy ground here last time while Noble Intention has been running reasonably well at Dundalk.
