In depth
Verdict
A winner at Gowran earlier, Kodiac Prince failed to cope with an 11lb rise at Tipperary but Take My Hand had been threatening to score before struggling at Leopardstown. This is tougher than the race Youceeyouceecee won at Cork recently but Billyfairplay is creeping closer and finished third at Cork behind RAMIRO 10 days ago. The latter just missed out on his first start since September and, with further progress likely, looks set to get off the mark.
