Feidhlim Cuinngham - authorised representative for the trainer - reported that his charge had disappointed on his previous run in what he felt was a high class race. He added that following the run - Ming Dynasty got a short break and he felt this - along with what was in his opinion a lesser race - may have helped to bring about the apparent improvement in form)(op 14/1) | ||
