Race preview
Irish Derby entrant PICTURE OF A CITY should strip fitter now having been entitled to need his reappearance at Limerick. On that occasion, the Andy Oliver-trained colt kept on late having hit a flat spot. It will be a surprise if this son of Cityscape isn't capable of much better than a rating of 71. Sixpack is bred to appreciate a stamina test so the Johnny Murtagh trained gelding has to be a real threat on his handicap debut. On the bare form of his three maiden runs he doesn't look badly treated on his initial foray into handicaps. Teutates didn't look the most straightforward on his handicap debut at this track last time but first-time cheekpieces may help. He also drops into a lower grade now so has to be respected.
