In depth

Verdict

Morph Speed has been in superb form, scoring three times in four runs, with the last two over much longer trips. He may just find a 7lb rise beyond him and Kosman looks a more likely winner. An impressive winner over the course and distance last month, he couldn't contain Giustino at Leopardstown but that looked a very fair effort and Jamie Powell's claim is a plus. DREAM TALE went up 7lb for scoring at Limerick but then ran a superb race when narrowly beaten by Sirjack Thomas in a much better race at the Curragh. He's up another 4lb but on the upgrade and can go in again.
