In depth
Verdict
SAM'S CHOICE couldn’t catch stable companion Gordon’s Jet here earlier this month but that looks comfortably the best form on view and he can go one better. Colonel Mustard attracted good support at Killarney last month and ran well though looks as though a stiffer test of stamina is required. Phillipa Sue ran two decent races in the spring while The Dude Abides wasn’t beaten far behind the smart Sundrenched at Navan and should get competitive.
