Race preview
DUKE OF LEGGAGH is in a rich vein of form this season. He returned to action in a valuable handicap at Naas last month and earned plenty of credit in finishing second to a horse who holds Classic entries. He then absolutely demolished his rivals by seven lengths in Navan to earn a 12lb hike from the handicapper. There could be more in him. Johnny Murtagh runs two horses and perhaps the pick of them will be Devore. The form of her Curragh nursery victory in September has been very well franked. Tea Olive came in a remote second to Duke Of Leggagh in Naas, but is one for each-way players to consider. That was her seasonal reappearance and she now has a substantial pull in the weights. Semblance Of Order is up in trip and has a chance. The Snapper could build upon a Cork victory.
