RACE VERDICT

Despite lacking the hurdling experience of his rivals, ABSURDE is a classy Flat type who won well on hurdling debut at Killarney and is the selected of Willie Mullins’ four runners. The next best of the quartet could be wide-margin Kilbeggan winner Space Tourist despite a worrying tendency to jump to her left. Williamstowndancer could complete a stable 1-2-3.

RACE VERDICT

Contrary to the general profile at this venue, this has been won by a horse with a double-digit draw six years in a row.

SOARING MONARCH, a C&D winner at last year’s festival, may maintain this trend by backing up the Roscommon win achieved on his seasonal debut. Others who could feature from a high draw are Mister Wilson, who is fit from hurdling, Salt Lake City, bidding to defy a bleak recent record for 3yos in this race, and Dunum who had a rare lapse at Royal Ascot. Alanya and Rahmi make the most appeal of those drawn low. [Alan Sweetman]

The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)

RACE VERDICT

A handicap only in name with only 3lb separating top from bottom. Dundalk winner DABANA should be spot-on for this after a recent run at Leopardstown and seems to handle soft ground well enough. Khafaaq has prospered this season and may handle the ground better than Complete Fiction who is also enjoying a productive campaign. Starting Monday should be at home on the ground. Safari Quest is a potential dark horse. [Alan Sweetman] Source: Racing Post
