Verdict
Luddsdenene continues to frustrate though it probably wasn't a bad effort to be beaten a couple of lengths by Big Secret at Limerick on Thursday. Dual bumper winner Sir Vincent looked a certain future winner when a short-head behind Cool Oscar at Gowran in October but that was over 2m4f and he looked very one-paced behind Steel Park at Wexford over today's trip. Mayo Mystique is receiving weight from the principals and has run creditably behind useful opponents on her last two starts and has the scope to make further progress. However, she's held by BECKWITH STAR on their run behind Pineau De Re at Limerick in November and Henry De Bromhead's charge has since performed with credit in a better race than this at Cork.
