FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Recent Gowran Park second ELUSIVE DUKE can go one better. Following a promising reappearance when mid division at Leopardstown on his previous start, the Mark Molloy-trained gelding stepped up on that effort to take minor honours last time. Sure to be even straighter on this third run, the four-year-old should appreciate the better ground and, also has a decent draw close to the running rail. A lightly raced Palace Pier colt, Oust has reached the frame on his two most recent appearances. He remains open to plenty of improvement at this level and, Jack Cleary is a very significant jockey booking. Derry Lad, who has dropped a long way in the handicap, shaped with more promise at Leopardstown last time.
