FormscanBy Alan Magee - DROMBEG DUKE took advantage of a lowly mark to record an impressive win on this card 12 months ago and has won twice since including at Bellewstown this spring. The selection again showed his liking for the course and distance when just denied in June with Mary Salome, now worse off at the weights, close behind in fourth. He has a little bit to find with topweight Dragon Of Malta on running at Roscommon last time but this meeting has probably been the main target all year. Is That Love won six times last year culminating with victory over course and distance. The Ado McGuinness-trained gelding has recently dropped down into this rating band and comes here off the back of an improved run when second at Cork. Some rain would boost his chance. Clear Quartz and New York Angel are others to consider.
