Dual-purpose; four Flat wins but last of those came in 2023; not a terrible effort on latest and now 2lb below his last success but the draw gods have not been kind here. |

Got off the mark in a Gowran handicap over this trip and was a close second at Ballinrobe (1m1.5f) under a 7lb penalty after; was poor at Leopardstown since so questions now. |

Well-bred Godolphin cast-off progressing well in handicaps of late, ready winner over 1m at Gowran and three days later staying on second under hefty weight over today's trip at Ballinrobe; runs off 7lb higher mark here so needs to take another step forward, but possible. |

Won a Curragh handicap (1m, good) last year; put in a satisfactory effort on return at Navan in April when tackling 1m2f for the first time and beaten only 3l into fifth over same trip at Leopardstown on latest; goes on any ground; worth considering. |

Three-time turf winner won this race last year (Anvika third); back to form when recording a 10th career win at Dundalk in March; runner-up over C&D (yielding; form has worked out well) on penultimate; troubled passage last time at Down Royal; wouldn't want it too soft. |

Maiden produced back-to-back solid runs at Ballinrobe and the Curragh earlier this season; below that level the last twice and drops into claiming company for the first time; yard does well in these races (39-332) so not discounted. |

Betting Forcast
16/1 Spent All Me Money, 25/1 San Aer, 14/1 Majestic King, 9/2 No More Porter, 14/1 Red Hugh ODonnell, 16/1 Galley Point, 14/1 Little Miss P, 8/1 Tofino, 10/1 Marambo, 25/1 Usuario Amigo, 8/1 Amemri, 3/1 Elusive Duke, 10/1 Hexagonal, 100/30 Mythical Rock, 66/1 Mags
Verdict
Though possibly best over a bit further than this, ELUSIVE DUKE boasts good recent form and may score for Oisin Murphy. A probable danger is Mythical Rock, a costly failure at Gowran, an outing that may have come too soon after a good Limerick run. No More Porter, who would get the vote if this race were at the Curragh, has yet to prove he is quite as effective elsewhere. Marambo, making his handicap/seasonal/turf debut, is a potential dark horse. [Alan Sweetman]
