FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Edification, TARTLETTE, Kasperenko, Major Reward, Latoyah Of North and Magnetic North (2019 winner of this event) are in opposition again having contested the ‘Ragusa’ at the Curragh last time. Edification came out on top on that occasion over a mile and a half but local mare Tartlette is taken to gain revenge back at this ten furlong trip. At a purchase price of 11K in July 2019, owners, the Eyeroller Syndicate, knew they had got serious value for money when the daughter of Champs Elysees scooted in twice at Dundalk in the latter stages of last year. Her aforementioned latest effort, her first in 218 days, was more than creditable and she can come on enough from it to shrug aside a five pound rise in the ratings. The widest draw in twenty is hardly helpful but trust Seamie Heffernan to overcome that impediment. A lot of eyes will be on Patrick Sarsfield. Extremely strong in the market this fellow bolted in from a mark of 86 at Leopardstown twelve days back. Fifteen pounds higher now, he’s still a big danger to all. Plenty of others are worthy of consideration including Padraig Roche’s stable debutant, Pesto.
