Race preview
Naas runner-up SUNDAY SOVEREIGN can gain a first success for trainer George Kingston. A five-time career winner, the seven-year-old ran his best race since joining present connections when staying on well for minor honours last time. While there is a slight concern that 5f might be on the sharp side at this stage of his life, the gelding is likely to benefit from arriving late from off a fast pace. Devil's Angel, who kept on well when fifth at Fairyhouse last month, should be involved if handling the forecast soft ground. Kevin Coleman's gelding has yet to prove he acts with an ease although he has had few opportunities to do so. Lismacbryan makes her handicap debut in a moderate affair and market support would be noteworthy.
