Race preview
Mount Ruapehu sets the standard as he has been placed in his last three sprint races. He wasn't beaten far into third at the Curragh and over C&D after showing plenty of early speed. He hasn't been as strong at the finish, though, and this is a stiff climb, so the standard isn't insurmountable. Preference is for Aidan O'Brien's debutant HISPANIC. O'Brien is operating at a 35 per cent strike rate, at the time of writing, with his juveniles in Ireland this season and this No Nay Never colt will know his job. Ger Lyons takes the wraps off Kingman colt Pier Pressure who is well worth a market check.
