Going - Good to Firm, Good in places. Fine
View all races Draw Analysis Result Odds Compare

Formscan By Tom Weekes - PROFIT REFUSED has run well in three competitive Curragh handicaps against older horses this summer and now drops slightly in grade, racing against just two more senior rivals. Her saddle slipped on seasonal reappearance at Naas in May and while then well held on May 26, has subsequently run better over shorter distances and drops 1lb today. Kailasa won a Curragh maiden over this distance last month - from which the fifth-placed horse won subsequently, and debuts in handicaps over an ideal distance, so should compete. Linger For Longer faces a tougher task than when winning at Limerick last month but is just 1lb higher and is suited by conditions.
