FormscanBy John O'Riordan - The Ado McGuinness trained STAR HARBOUR should be hard to beat. Third in the 'Red God' here in August, the gelding was just denied when beaten a short head here last week. With the excellent Sam Coen claiming a valuable 7lb, the son of Sea The Stars gets the vote. Course and distance winner Walhaan has to be a serious danger in a race where tactics are likely to play a big part. A confirmed front-runner, the grey could be hard to peg back if allowed too much leeway under Ben Coen. A place behind Star Harbour last time, the Ross O'Sullivan trained Longbourn is another with decent form at this track.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (90 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
