Race preview
PAULLIAC is progressing with each run and certainly looks the best of those with previous form. The Ken Condon-trained colt showed promise behind Lady Tilbury at Tipperary before going close when upped to this trip at Fairyhouse, beating all bar Kodi Noir. There are a number of nicely bred newcomers in opposition including Apricot Twist, who fetched 140,000 guineas as a yearling and is out of the Listed winner Erysimum. Grace Darling is by Kingman out of Stormfly who won the Group 3 1,000 Guineas Trial for Dermot Weld, while Arancha is another to note for Jim Bolger. Rochester Mike is by Wooton Bassett out of a Listed placed winner in France and cost 52,000 recently at the Goresbridge Breeze Up Sale.
