Going - Good to Yielding. Fine
View all races Result Odds Compare

Formscan By Donal Murphy - It's difficult to be overly confident about any of these. Without a win in 38 starts, SURVIVING MURMANSK might finally get his day in the sun. The lowly-rated seven-year-old ran a nice race to finish fourth at Cork on Monday and he'll again be ridden by Harry Sexton who claims a valuable 7lb. Splendid Choice and Slea Head finished just ahead of the selection when they clashed at Wexford last month, and there is likely to be little between the trio again. While both have been disappointing, Half Past Tipsy and Sharetheknowledge warrant respect in a contest of this quality, while others for the shortlist are Arthur's Victory, with Danny Mullins aboard, and Shane Ryder's Destivelle.
