In depth
Verdict
RULER OF DUBAI (NAP) looked like losing his maiden tag when taking the lead at the last over 2m6f at Downpatrick but was run out of it close home. He's up 3lb but can go one better. My Newbrook Rose gained her first success over that trip at Thurles though that was back in March and she's 6lb higher. Willyouwalkwithme has yet to reach a place in ten starts over timber though is rarely beaten far while Roses Queen showed her first sign of form over hurdles when fourth at Galway though has never raced over a trip this far. Mossy White hasn't won since last November but can race from 1lb lower.
