Three-time winner CORDOUAN has a wide draw but has run notable races recently and appears well handicapped, having once been rated 91. Ridden from off the pace when powering home behind stablemate Ransom at the Curragh last month, he was well supported when finishing third here last week and reverting to this distance should help. Ransom himself stalled at the start before encountering every red light at Roscommon in mid-May prior to that Curragh success, but is now 8lb higher. The three-year-old Faoladh was beaten a short head over C&D recently and is 3lb higher. |
The lightly raced pair at the bottom of the weights FAOLADH and Tilani make most appeal here. The latter proved his stamina for 1m last time and is entitled to come on for that run so should go close for top connections but narrow preference is for the former. He showed improved form when going down by a nose in the same contest and though he has had more chances this term than his re-opposing rival he remains unexposed at 1m on a sound surface. Of the others the consistent Zipster is feared most having been outstayed over further here last time. |

Three-time winner CORDOUAN has a wide draw but has run notable races recently and appears well handicapped, having once been rated 91. Ridden from off the pace when powering home behind stablemate Ransom at the Curragh last month, he was well supported when finishing third here last week and reverting to this distance should help. Ransom himself stalled at the start before encountering every red light at Roscommon in mid-May prior to that Curragh success, but is now 8lb higher. The three-year-old Faoladh was beaten a short head over C&D recently and is 3lb higher. |
The lightly raced pair at the bottom of the weights FAOLADH and Tilani make most appeal here. The latter proved his stamina for 1m last time and is entitled to come on for that run so should go close for top connections but narrow preference is for the former. He showed improved form when going down by a nose in the same contest and though he has had more chances this term than his re-opposing rival he remains unexposed at 1m on a sound surface. Of the others the consistent Zipster is feared most having been outstayed over further here last time. |
