Verdict
Kashmir Wilde did finish ahead of Miraculum when fourth at Downpatrick but never really looked like winning, though will know more today. Heavey has placed in a point and a bumper and tackles hurdles for the first time but lacks the pace of DESERT POINT. Keith Dalgleish’s charge didn’t show much over hurdles in 2017 but he’s been running respectably on the Flat this year and should take all the beating if the obstacles don’t get in the way.
