18:45 Thomastown Maiden

Race preview

MANO CHICAGO might be able to overcome a lengthy absence in this ordinary affair. The highest rated of those with a mark, the Johnny Murtagh-trained four-year-old picked up plenty of prize money when a respectable fifth in the 2024 Goffs Million on his last start. While clearly meeting with a setback in training since, this looks an ideal starting-back point. Without a win in nine starts and failing to fire on his return at Naas last month, a first-time tongue-strap may have the desired effect on five-time runner-up Game Point. A visor is tried on the well-bred Wild Sapphire and it'll be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end. Others to consider are Noel Meade's Take Me and debutant Catherine Magennis.
