Race preview
The Johnny Murtagh-trained RETRACEMENT can register a first Irish success. A maiden winner for previous connections when trained in England, the four-year-old has shown definite promise since arriving in this country. With his two best runs to date coming over this course and distance, the son of Australia has bright prospects of making the breakthrough under Ben Coen. The lightly raced In My Teens takes a step up in class here but has to be respected. The Gavin Cromwell-trained Camelot filly could have scope for improvement off her current rating. Stablemate Fiver Friday is also worthy of consideration on her first start for Cromwell.
