Nil Desperandum can make early mark again

GOWRAN PARK houses a cracking card this afternoon, highlighted by the Grade Two National Lottery Agent ’Chase.

Rathgar Beau and Cloudy Bays are the two highest rated candidates in the contest, but this could well be fought out by two second-season novices in Nil Desperandum and Kicking King!

Tom Taaffe’s Kicking King arguably holds the best credentials of any of the eight runers, having gone down by a length to Well Chief in the Arkle Trophy at Cheltenham in March.
