Race preview
INGENIOUS STROKE didn't really progress after a decent run in Galway last October but may be worth a shot here dropping in grade now. The Jet Away gelding won a point-to-point last April and there was promise in his first outing for Henry de Bromhead when he was prominent for a long way before finishing fourth to Blazing Khal. He weakened tamely enough in two subsequent runs but this isn't a strong race now and he has shown enough to make him a big player. King Kal was beaten a fair way when fourth at Kilbeggan last time but that was a decent race for the track and the fact that the fifth horse has won since is encouraging for his chances in this company. Dorans Boy has been given a mark of 104 after four runs, the best of which was the middle run when fourth at Kilbeggan. He is another to consider.
