In depth

Verdict

Tawrific Laois has been in good heart over hurdles and fences and went to Down Royal on Thursday with a favourite's chance but could only finish seventh behind Sole Witness. LUCKY SPRING finished a close fourth that day racing from a 5lb higher mark after his victory at Navan and there appears no reason why he shouldn't regain the winning thread, especially as he had Cantrell a long way behind at Navan despite the latter starting favourite. Its All Hush Hush, a winner between the flags, didn't look suited to 2m4f at Down Royal on Thursday when only fifth behind Royal Palm and is better judged on his close third behind Monastrell over today's trip there earlier.
