Ragnar Lodbrok had Sovereign Gold just under two lengths behind when runner-up at Punchestown though neither looked like getting to the all-the-way winner. Song Of Earth, who started favourite after an excellent run at Clonmel, stumbled three out and soon weakened. It's over a year since Key Commander gained his only victory over fences and he's still 11lb higher so a chance is taken with DUBAI DEVILS, who prefers much softer ground but ran his best race for a long time at Limerick last month.
