Heights has what it takes to drown River in Dundalk feature

My my, how the mighty have fallen. Ol' Man River was once a VIP in Ballydoyle, now he can't even get a bed there and has checked into Joseph O'Brien's new hotel instead.

It is almost two years to the day since his breathtaking Beresford triumph which shot him to the summit of the following year's Derby market but not much has gone right since and now he finds himself running in a race at Dundalk for horses who have not finished first, second or third in a Listed or Group race since January 1. Who would have ever thought Ol' Man River would fall into that bracket?

Yet here he is and he might not even win it. Indeed, I would be very keen to take him on with Elusive Heights who is only rated 1lb lower than Ol Man River and might actually be improving.
