Race preview
TURBINE runs best after a break and Joey Sheridan's presence riding at a low weight on reappearance suggests he has a big chance. A winner on career debut in 2015, TURBINE has won on his reappearance run on each of the last two years (albeit disqualified in 2019 for a banned substance) and competes from a low weight today, with Sheridan riding light and flagging a possible 2lbs over-weight, with trip and drying ground to suit. Juyush is chasing a four-timer for Belfast Banter's owners and has obvious claims. His only turf win was on heavy ground and having lost his way last year, has bounced back on the all-weather this winter and is clearly in excellent health. Wonder Elzaam won over this trip on soft ground at Naas last month and has his chance on drier ground today. Pulse Of Shanghai has won four of his seven all-weather starts but now races from a career high mark on his return to turf from a wide 15 draw. Mudlahhim won on all-weather debut in October and is interesting on reappearance from his revised mark while Leadership Race was second from today's mark at Dundalk last month and was also second over course and distance last July. Real Appeal ran well in handicaps last year without winning and now competes from a career low mark.
