Going - Good, good to firm in places. Overcast and warm

Formscan By Tom Weekes - Recent winner QUINN THE ESKIMO is well-related and can continue to progress. A half-brother to four winners including a German Group 3 winner, he was initially well beaten in three maiden hurdles but showed promise at Fairyhouse in April before scoring at Down Royal 24 days ago. He is 7lb higher following that narrow success but defeated plenty rivals then and is well suited by a sound surface. Tir Og has recent form and while today’s selection has stronger form, she is just a four-year-old so can continue to improve. Hob’s Angel hung left when showing improved form at Tramore last month but is nonetheless an exposed 12-race maiden.
