Deteriorated greatly but trip/ground fine and could be dangerous in this grade
3 (12)	Dinamine Chestnut J:Wesley Joyce(3) T:Michael Mulvany	J:Wesley Joyce(3) T:Michael Mulvany	133	—	04-192	50	61	33	10d	—	—	-11	4.4	1.25/1	5/1 17%

Down Royal turf debut encouraging but bit to find with Merchants Arch on that run

Big prices and ran accordingly both runs this term but worth a market check with Keane on
