Verdict
The improving Greg The Great has obliged on three of his last four runs but now tackles Class 4 company for the first time. It's the same tale for Murphy's Dream but Duelist has been getting closer. Richard Hannon applies first-time blinkers to the Dubawi colt and he's been dropped in the ratings. Be Lucky My Son knows how to win but at a lower level whereas LEUVEN POWER now takes a step down in class. He's a previous course winner and may still be far from the finished article.
