Race preview
PRINCESS SOPHIA made a winning start for her new trainer Ciaran Murphy at Punchestown and can follow up from a 7lb higher mark. A first-time hood helped her to settle and front-running tactics are likely to be employed again around this sharp circuit. Movie King chased home the selection and then went one better at Down Royal on Friday evening. He has won on the Polytrack at Dundalk and good ground is right up his street. Hidalgo Des Mottes ran his best race so far when third at Tipperary last month and this lightly-raced six-year-old is open to further improvement.
