Race preview
Frankel colt FERNAO was gambled on ahead of her debut at Limerick last month and put in plenty of good late work for third after a tardy start. With that experience banked, and better ground on offer here, he is taken to improve. Arniemac wasn't given a hard time in second behind a clear-cut winner at Sligo and is entitled to come on for the run. Most Wanted has looked like a winner waiting to happen after two close third places at Leopardstown and Gowran Park. He drops back in trip and has solid claims. The one caveat is that his sire's progeny are showing a preference for some cut in the ground. This ground is drying out all the time. Caravaggio filly Valkyrie Gray is a newcomer from a strong yard that should be monitored in the market.
