FormscanBy Donal Murphy - SATURN is as tough as they come. Out of the brilliant Alpha Centauri, the grey entire battled gamely to win on his return to action at Navan last month. Now on a career high mark of 94 and successful on four of his last six starts, he looks the one to beat in this valuable contest. A stable companion of the selection, Satin won on Irish Champions Weekend in 2023 and is capable of making an impact if returning to her best. An easy winner when last seen at Dundalk in November, Ascending is of definite interest with Billy Lee aboard, while Razdan is another leading hope. He caught the eye when a staying on fifth at this venue on Easter Saturday and it'll be interesting to see if he can build on that performance.
