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

Formscan By Donal Murphy - GRIZABELLA might be able to take this weak affair on her second start for Paul Flynn. Hampered when coming with her challenge at Cork on Easter Saturday, she ultimately had to settle for the runner-up berth. Already a dual winner at Sligo, Gamigin is a definite danger on his debut for Gary McGill. Switching back to the level for the first time since November of 2022, he was a close third over flights at Tramore last month and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a few places better now. The youngest runner in the line-up, Dynamite Defense looks capable of making his presence felt in a contest of this quality, while Top Of The Pops and Anjah are others of interest, with both successful when last seen at Gowran and Dundalk respectively.
