Find The King a three time winner over hurdles, made all for an easy win here following a decent effort at Listowel on Saturday when he finished second to Quest For A Star in a slowly run one-and-three-quarter-mile amateurs riders event.
The winner, who can be troublesome at the start, was led in here and got a flyer. He had all his rivals struggling turning for home and was given an easy time of it in the closing stages. Successful over one and a half miles in England last year, he is likely to revert to hurdles at Gowran Park tomorrow week.
He handles most types of ground but this kind of ground seems to suit him best. He has a bit of a wind problem and struggles a bit when the ground is testing.
