Going - Yielding, yielding to soft in places. Fine
View all races Draw Analysis Result Odds Compare

Formscan By Eamonn Murphy - Willie McCreery launches a three pronged attack on this event. Whilst his Downforce is a course and distance winner with race fitness on his side, the County Kildare handler’s LUSTOWN BABA is preferred. The selection also scored over track and trip in the past, having taken her maiden here in October 2019. When we last saw the grey back in November she was hugely progressive, and her 106 official rating now puts her right in the mix against this level of opponent. All told you can build cases for many of them and it’ll be fascinating to see how Dundalk star Whatharm gets on back on the grass. Kieran Cotter’s pair, Inflection Point and A Step Too Far could show up well too.
