DECLARED RUNNERS 10 2021: THE KING’S STEED 8 8 4 Oisin McSweeney 3-1 (Shaun Lycett) 12 ran

Stewards Note: SWINTON NOON: Following its run on 27/4/2022 it was reported that the horse would appreciate slower ground. SAFE PASSAGE: Following its run on 6/4/2022 it was reported that the horse hung right handed late-on. CAPTAIN SEDGWICK: Following its run on 4/12/2019 it was reported that the horse suffered interference. DEW YOU BELIEVE: Following its run on 10/3/2022 it was reported that the horse hung left handed late-on. AMAL: Following its run on 27/4/2022 it was reported that the horse would prefer easier ground. Probable S.P’s: 11-4 Elixsoft (IRE), 10-3 Otto Oyl (GB), 11-2 Safe Passage (GB), 8-1 Grandstand (IRE), Dew You Believe (IRE), 20-1 Swinton Noon (GB), 28-1 Captain Sedgwick (IRE), 33-1 Amal (IRE), 40-1 Nicky Baby (IRE), 50-1 Jack Bean (GB)

PLAY SMARTER A few of these arrive with question marks against them and ELIXSOFT looks the way to go given she can race off the same mark as when posting a good second at Ayr last week. Mick Appleby’s Dew You Believe is next on the list, with Grandstand appealing as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.
