Race preview

Nasrullah Handicap winner THREAD OF GOLD can prove that he remains a well-handicapped horse. A lightly-raced three-year-old, the Willie Mullins-trained gelding stayed on strongly when scoring at Leopardstown recently. Stepping up in trip looks a wise move with the son of Ghaiyyath and he can continue his progression. Ladies Derby victor Fixation is now 9lb higher, but looked to have plenty in hand on that occasion and it would be no surprise to see the Johnny Murtagh-trained four-year-old play a leading role. The Real Screamer ran another big race when third in the Ragusa Handicap at the Curragh last time out.
