In depth

Verdict

Sam Ewing has been booked for Fugacious, runner-up to Mary Salome at Listowel but still a maiden after 26 starts. Eloso is also winless and has shown his best form at Dundalk and though Oneiroi is running well he keeps going up in the weights without winning. St Clerens is 0-11 and has changed stables but Foreign Legion wins often enough though mainly on the all-weather. KOSMAN looked a likely future winner when narrowly beaten at Leopardstown and started favourite back there next time but failed to fire. He's handed another chance to double his winning tally.
