In depth
Verdict
Three times a winner between the flags, Save Us Avis beat The Forge Hill and Peggy Gordon in a maiden at Cork two weeks ago. Wrong Direction landed the odds on the same card and holds Texas Gold on that run. Templebredin is tried in cheekpieces after a disappointing run at Down Royal but WINGED LEADER is the clear form pick on seconds this season at Down Royal and Gowran even though he was a long way below his best when odds-on at Cork two weeks ago.
