Race preview
OTTOMAN EMPEROR is the choice having shaped like a promising colt when beating a subsequent winner in a maiden at Cork in April. Described as a raw type by connections, he has been given plenty of time to develop since then and can make a winning start in handicaps off a mark of 90. Dublin Journal is another maiden winner open to improvement and looks a danger having gone up just 3lb for winning at Naas. Indian Sioux was clear of the rest when bumping into a big improver over course and distance last month and, although she's up in class, she has to enter calculations. Bottom-weight Aurora Princess has gone up a stone in the ratings for two wins this month and, while she's clearly thriving, this will be tougher for her in better company.
