A monster 6f dash handicap to begin with 26 runners declared and loads of them from the UK. Strike Purple for the Richard Fahey yard will probably be close to the highest of the market and was a winner right here on mushy floor final season. I’ll go for the joint top-weight MY MATE ALFIE. He’s a course and distance winner and has been operating in higher races not too long ago. Hopefully, he takes benefit for Ger Lyons and Colin Keane.
Jockey Billy Lee isn’t too far off Colin Keane within the jockeys’ title race once more and he companions PURPLE LILY within the Group 2 Blanford Stakes. She was third within the Irish Oaks and wasn’t overwhelmed far when fifth to Fallen Angel within the Irish 1,000 Guineas. This 1m 2f journey ought to swimsuit and she or he appears to be like a significant participant for coach Paddy Twomey. WINGSPAN might characterize a little bit of each-way worth.
Aidan O’Brien’s BEDTIME STORY wasn’t as spectacular regardless of profitable final time at very lengthy odds on, however she’s proven a lot in her races earlier than that. She was spectacular at Leopardstown on debut earlier than placing up a demolition job at Royal Ascot and on that sort of type is tough to oppose as she chases the four-timer within the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes.
The Group 1 Flying 5 and it’s laborious to get away from BRADSELL. He’s lightly-raced and a a number of winner over this 5f journey together with at York and Deauville in his two races thus far this season.
The Nationwide Stakes is a key trial for subsequent 12 months’s Irish Classics and Henri Matisse heads the market. Nevertheless, he appeared a bit quirky when profitable the Group 2 Futurity Stakes on the Curragh and practically ditched Ryan Moore within the ultimate furlong. I’d sooner again COWARDOFTHECOUNTY each-way after his win over 6f final time. This step as much as 7f ought to swimsuit.
He will be quirky, however we all know how good the twin Ascot Gold Cup winner KYPRIOS is on his day. He’s solely rated 1lb increased than Giovellotto however that doesn’t inform us the complete story, When he’s on his ‘A’ sport he’s very laborious to beat. His Goodwood win was franked by Candy William at Doncaster on Friday and regardless of being overwhelmed on this contest final season, he’ll be very laborious to beat now.
These gross sales races are at all times difficult to get a deal with on however Aidan O’Brien has put cheekpieces on Proper and True for the primary time. I’m swayed in the direction of Ger Lyons’ NO SUCH THING, who might enhance considerably for his debut run when he’s second to rank outsider Orchidaceae on debut. That run could have put him spot-on for a crack at this.
17:55 – Longbourn (each-way)
We finish with a tough handicap and LONGBOURN will be rewarded for his consistency. A winner at Leopardstown when claimer ridden on his penultimate begin, he’s been dropped a few lbs for his runner-up spot at Tipperary final time. Ross O’Sullivan’s runner was third on this contest final 12 months and could be a participant once more.
