Race preview
KILMEADEN's runner-up spot in a maiden at Ballinrobe received a massive boost when the winner followed up in good style in Listed class at Navan. Galileo colt Kilmeaden holds an entry in the Irish Derby and sets a more than useful standard. Given the form of Paddy Twomey's stable, newcomer Pharos Freedom is of interest. It is worth noting that Twomey saddled the horse that beat Kilmeaden in Ballinrobe, so he will have a handle on what is required. Light Up The Dark didn't cut much ice in another maiden at Ballinrobe, however, she is a Listed bumper winner and a return to slower ground will definitely help her. Ardashir is another debutant worth checking for market strength.
