Race preview
It might be as simple as rowing in behind the top-rated ENNISTYMON here. On a tough evening both ground and weather-wise at Galway 11 days back, it was no disgrace for Ennistymon to lose out to older rivals in Princess Zoe and Barrington Court. Princess Zoe is of course carrying all before her, and Barrington Court is a right good National Hunt mare on her day. She drops in trip now, and with first time blinkers on better ground, Ennistymon looks a tough nut for her rivals to crack. Second in the Ribblesdale and second in the Epsom Oaks, the selection will surely make use of her rail-side draw in one, to force the issue at this distance. The others with the three figure ratings, A New Dawn and Epona Plays, are among the dangers.
