In depth
Verdict
This is a very poor quality contest though that won't concern connections of JIMMY TWO TIMES, who showed massive improvement behind the odds-on Blow The Doors Off at Gowran and should have few problems going one better if maintaining his progress. Killiney Court has shown a glimmer of ability and though Attraction Ticket has shown little in three starts over timber he did manage to win three races on the Flat. Leave At Dawn showed a bit of promise on his debut at Cork and is better than he showed on a return visit earlier this month.
