FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Cheek-pieces seemed to do plenty for DROMBEG DUKE at Gowran a week back. From the very much in-form Austin Leahy yard, the Approve gelding was bringing his career total to two from fifteen at the County Kilkenny venue. He has a Dundalk win under his belt but appeared to relish the testing conditions last time, and he’ll get more of the same here. A seven pound rise in the ratings and a draw out in twelve may not be enough to stop a quick double from the Limerick runner. John McConnell’s pair, Sagittarius Rising and Kudbegood, are respected. The same can be said of Drombeg Duke and Sagittarius Rising’s fellow last time out scorer, Varna Gold. The local hope won over hurdles at Killarney.
