Race preview
WEXFORD NATIVE has been a work in progress for Jim Bolger since his debut win at Navan in March. The son of Teofilo showed what he is capable of when beaten only three lengths in the Irish 2000 Guineas last month and he can strike on this drop in grade. Emphatic Answer bounced back to form with a narrow defeat in a Group 2 over C&D and she is sure to be a major player alongside Straight Answer, who is very interesting going over a mile for the first time. Pretreville and Raadobarg can also have a say in proceedings.
