FormscanBy Tom Weekes - NEWFOUNDLAND met trouble in-running here in May and competes at this distance for the first time. A brother to Oaks winner Snowfall and out of a half-sister to Found, his form is largely unexciting and finished mid-pack in a 1m4f Royal Ascot handicap last year but hinted in May that staying distances could be forte. Extensio won the Ladies Derby last year and having run well over a slightly shorter distance last month, should compete under a light weight. Grappo Nonino is a proven stayer who was raised 5lb for winning at Killarney and is 3lb out of the handicap. Immelmann debuts for Willie Mullins following a long layoff and while he failed to sell at 75,000gns two days after his last run in 2021, now steps up in distance with Gary Carroll being a positive booking. Marvelosa also steps up in distance and is in form while Almuhit ran well in a recent course handicap and competes from the same mark. Dartan could benefit from his recent reappearance run.
An extended handicap for four years old and upwards that are EBF eligible (95 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
