THE HIGHWAY RAT is worth taking a chance on, despite a below-par run at Naas last time. Andy Oliver's gelding had shaped with plenty of promise when sixth at the Curragh on his seasonal debut the time before. A five-time winner on the all-weather, the son of Dandy Man gained his only previous victory on grass over C&D. Off a 2lb lower mark, he should be capable of a big run from a favourable high draw. Only Spoofing, twice successful in this race and a winner at Musselburgh last month, should have his chance if back on song. Kevin Coleman's veteran failed to back that run up when turned out quickly. Bold Optimist is another who holds leading claims. |
Only Spoofing is a two time winner of this, having picked up the prize in 2021 and 2022. He won on his penultimate start and was slowly away last time. He can challenge for a place. CUBAN GREY, having been behind Emerald Harmony in April, overturned that rival next time. She went up 7lbs for that and ran fine last time. She's back to 5f today and can add another win to her CV. Emerald Harmony can make the frame. |
