Drombeg Duke won comfortably at Bellewstown in April and the handicapper has seen fit to raise him by a hefty 8lb for those labours. There is inclement weather forecast and KARLSBERG would be a strong fancy if it arrives at the track in time. Royal Tribute is still searching for a maiden success and won’t be far away while while Rosie Rock was ahead of Bobby K when the pair met at Leopardstown and both would prosper if the pacesetters went too quick early on. Mary Salome outperformed her odds at the Curragh earlier in the season and is still off a workable mark.
