Race preview
Waldgeist filly FLORESTA is going the right way after drawing nicely clear over an extended 1m3f in Limerick. She ought to appreciate this staying test. Mister Adam used every yard of 1m4f to get up by a short head at this venue in May and has to come under consideration. Red King looked like a winner in waiting when he travelled into the lead at Navan. He was outgunned inside the final furlong, though, and a tongue-strap and cheekpieces are reached for. Fervent showed an aptitude for Fairyhouse in clocking up a pair of victories there in June and shouldn't be underestimated, while Marazion and C&D winner Happy Pharoah are far from out of contention.
