Race preview
Fresh from his memorable Grade 1 triumph at Fairyhouse on Sunday, Andy Slattery might be able to continue his rich vein of form here with SUIR MONAD. An encouraging fourth on debut at Dundalk in December, the Dark Angel grey was just a head behind subsequent winner Goldinthesea. Also running with credit when fifth on his first start at the all-weather venue, Lunar Tide is the second choice. Sure to step forward from that initial effort, it'll come as a surprise if he's not involved towards the business end. A 200,000-pound yearling purchase, Gatlingburg is the pick of Donnacha O'Brien's pair and while disappointing to date, he is surely capable of better. Sending out his second winner of the Flat campaign at Cork on Saturday, Henry de Bromhead is represented by Stellar View, and this one warrants the utmost respect.
