Race preview
APPROACHING BEAR's narrow reverse at Killarney looks to be the standout form in here and the son of Belardo can uphold form with Slaney Tide (third) and Pub Talk (fourth), despite being worse off at the weights. Fendi is one to note following a career-best effort at Tipperary last week, while Belatucadros has the potential for improvement over further. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Lady Skipper, Slick Chick and Texas Boy.
