oddschecker Verdict
A race that often goes to a lightly-raced, improving three-year-old sees the hat-trick seeking DARIUS DARK hold leading claims. Unbeaten in both starts over this distance, the Johnny Murtagh-trained Dark Angel gelding remains capable of better on what is only his sixth career start. A game winner at Leopardstown last time, the application of first-time cheekpieces could eke out further improvement. Beaten just a length when third in that same contest, Keepsgettingbetter shouldn't be far away. A dual winner at Dundalk, the Donnacha O'Brien-trained filly showed that she handles turf just as effectively. Eastern Peace and Faro Island also catch the eye with leading apprentices booked.
Prediction: 1st Darius Dark, 2nd Keepsgettingbetter, 3rd Eastern Peace
