FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Large bets at Laytown are ill-advised, with racing at the unique Co Meath venue more of a spectacle than anything else. Just two of these have competed here before, with WAR HERO finishing second in 2019. Already twice successful this year, the six-year-old has been disappointing of late, but a return to the seaside might bring out the best in him, with Cian MacRedmond taking five pounds off. Jack Kennedy has a rare ride on the level, partnering Silver Star for his boss Gordon Elliott. Without a win since 2018, the eight-year-old grey is the highest rated runner in the line-up and should be able to make his presence felt. Pimstrel was successful at Listowel last month and while she disappointed at Limerick on her latest start, she might be able to bounce back here. Tony The Gent is a seven-time winner and he warrants respect, while Mulzaam and Able Jack are other leading hopes.
