Verdict

the Mick Halford-trained, Aga Khan-owned SIMIR can make his return to Ireland a winning one. The gelding ran with great credit in three starts over in Meydan between January/February this year including claiming victory in a 61k handicap over 1m2f. The Joseph O'Brien-trained Pondus can emerge as the biggest danger on his first start since leaving the yard of James Fanshawe. Bold Approach looks set for third, though the Ger Lyons-trained Long Arm should not be easily dismissed.
