FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Well-bred MONASTERE (6) hadn’t shown much prior to two encouraging recent displays, and can follow up a recent success, under 9lb higher. Out of a Group 3-winning mare, the selection was bought for E10,500 as a two-year-old in November 2024 and, last month, showed big improvement at Fairyhouse before scoring at that same course 10 days ago. He can continue to progress and today’s same rider is able to utilise his 5lb claim here. Four-time winner Rappell was narrowly touched off at Fairyhouse on Wednesday and has strong claims from that same rating. El Fontenaro was himself narrowly beaten at Fairyhouse last month, although is an 18-race maiden. Friars Gate disappointed on testing ground here recently but had previously shown promise.

An extended handicap for four years old and upwards rated 0-60
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
