In depth
Verdict
A very competitive finale in which Overheer still looks on a fair mark despite a 9lb rise for a convincing victory at Tipperary. Magic Chegaga won a maiden at the same fixture and is progressing nicely but LORD PARK has been very unfortunate to run into some in-form and well handicapped rivals in his last four starts including Baron Samedi last time so this could finally be his day. Call Me Rocky landed a Limerick maiden then carried a big weight into third in a Galway handicap while Sea The Dawn was having only her fourth start and making her debut for Jessica Harrington when a very good fourth at Navan and has been dropped 2lb.
