FormscanBy Tom Weekes - I LOVE MY BAIE ran with credit when last seen at the Punchestown festival. A four-time winner and Grade 2-placed in 2023, the selection would have finished closer at Punchestown only for meeting trouble in-running in that big-field handicap, and today’s rider now claims 5lb. Straight Home has graduated to staying distances recently and should be suited by this longest-test. Better suited by racing right-handed, she met trouble in-running at Ballinrobe last month before finishing well and while raised 1lb, today’s less-experienced rider claims 5lb. Topgun Simmy has a similar profile being a consistent and capable stayer. He likes a sound surface, ran well at Haydock last month and while he has top weight, his rider again claims 7lb.
