In depth
Verdict
The handicapper has raised MAUNSELLS DUKE a massive 12lb for last week's easy victory at Galway so the fact that he's running here with a 5lb penalty and his young rider claims 2lb suggests he's very well in at the weights and a quick follow-up looks on the cards. No Trimmings is running very well and battled on to score over the C&D last time while Curl Cat is also in good form and wasn't far behind Beauty Express at Wexford. Lord Kenmare has never won on turf after 21 starts and is rated 15lb higher on the all-weather. A couple of good efforts recently here and at Leopardstown suggest he should be scoring soon and he looks the main threat as the handicapper may have caught up with An Mhi.
