Race preview
It might be worth taking a chance on VERACIDAD in this open contest. With Wayne Hassett claiming 7lb, the Ken Condon-trained selection will carry a featherweight and is fitted with a visor for the first time. Third on her most recent start at Sligo after being hampered over a furlong out, it'll come as no surprise if she manages to go a few places better now. Top-weight Mr Saturday is given second preference. While he disappointed on his most recent start at the Curragh, he makes his debut in handicap company now and with Jack Kearney claiming a valuable 7lb, he should go close. Si Senior is the only winner in the line-up and she'll be well fancied to follow up on her recent Sligo success, while Sanshiro is another capable of making his presence felt.
