Formscan By Alan Magee - A hot conditions race with all bar one of the nine runners holding a rating of 95 or higher. ROMZINA has a bit to find on figures but should have scope for further improvement having won a Cork maiden on debut and been placed on both subsequent starts at Listed level. She could be suited by this trip having kept on well into third behind Caught U Looking over 1m4f at Naas. Salt Bay has struggled to justify his rating since narrowly denied over this trip at York last June while War Rooms, third in the Dante Stakes at York last year, is a nice addition to Gerry Keane’s yard. Persian Bliss progressed well winning three times over the winter at Dundalk.
For four years old and upwards that have not won a Group race since 1st May, 2024
Weights - 9st 5lbs Fillies allowed 5lbs
Penalties - (to count from 1st May, 2024) Winner of a race 4lb extra Of a race value #15,000 7lb extra
