Race preview

Five of these were successful last time out which makes this a competitive contest for the grade. INDIAN ADMIRAL defied an absence of over a year to make a winning start for Henry de Bromhead at Galway and can follow up off an 8lb higher mark. The 6-year-old won with a bit to spare on that occasion and handled soft ground well. Elite Des Mottes got off the mark at Killarney and has claims off a 7lb higher mark while Clarens was successful at Listowel but the Flat-bred 4-year-old possibly would prefer less testing ground. Choir Practice looks on a workable mark after a snug maiden win last time and the form of Ricky Bobby's Cork win has worked out well but he's been off since that victory in July.
