In depth
Verdict
Another poor maiden likely to be dominated in the market by KINGS KEEPER, who has been a beaten favourite the last twice having been placed in similar company in his previous four starts. There looks nothing in today’s opposition to trouble him though Convertible makes a quick return to action after a reasonable run at Down Royal on Friday. Jack Foley is the most experienced of these riders though his mount, Starzov, was beaten when falling at Monksgrange.
