Race preview
AIR FORCE ONE looks dangerous on his third start for Paddy Twomey. He shed his maiden tag at Navan in May, but then disappointed when favourite for a valuable handicap at the Curragh. A tongue-strap is fitted and he can bounce back to winning ways. Never Shout Never isn't on a bad mark ahead of his first start for Jack Davison, while Jered Maddox is somewhat of a Dundalk specialist, however, his rating of 86 entitles him to respect. Distillate won by three lengths in a lesser grade on her last visit to this track, while Sunday Sovereign signalled a return to form in fourth at Naas.
