    In depth

    Verdict

    Joyce Compton had been consistent enough at this trip but found a mile too far at Killarney on Friday. Ambiguity has been racing in much better company than this since making a winning start on heavy going at Tipperary in April. Bective hasn't been beaten far in any of his recent races while Fasuba found the minimum trip too short at Tipperary last time. RED SABOR was well beaten in his two opening runs but made great strides to run Swish close at Dundalk a week ago and, if transferring that form back to Turf, will be very difficult to beat.
