Going - Good to Yielding. Overcast
View all races Draw Analysis Result Odds Compare

Formscan By John O'Riordan - First-time cheekpieces should see the Dermot Weld-trained KALIR get off the mark here. Third on his most recent outing at Dundalk last month, the Night Of Thunder colt should come on from the run. Having shown promise on a couple of occasions last term, he has every chance of registering a first success. Satoyama ran better than the bare result suggests on his debut here last month, staying on well after missing the break. Western Bandit showed little on his debut at this track but shaped much better when keeping on well from off the pace to finish fifth at Limerick recently. A reproduction of that latter effort would make the four-year-old a strong contender.
