Muroor has run the occasional decent race over timber and the champion jockey's presence is intriguing. Specific Gravity rarely runs anywhere but Dundalk these days and won a handicap there in March but he has plenty to find on official ratings with Pando, though it's difficult to know what to make of the latter. Four times a winner in France on testing ground, he was returning from a long break when mid-division in a Curragh handicap last month and it remains to be seen how he handles this quicker going. Percy B Shelley showed potential for John Gosden and Jonny Levins will get a race out of him soon but the vote goes to THE LORDS WALK, a winner at Dundalk in March and a very good second to the much higher-rated Muzbid in a similar race to this at Gowran last month.
