Verdict

The improving DUE REWARD can land the prize here on handicap debut following a win at Gowran Park last month over this trip. The Henry De Bromhead gelding is taken to get the better of the game and consistent Konig Hall who has been turning back the clock in both codes this year. The Gordon Elliott pair Miro and Icario can both out-run their SP's in this contest.
