Verdict

One of Ireland's premier handicaps and it looks another typically competitive renewal. PIERRE ROYAL is still relatively unexposed after just 7 career starts and once again left the impression there's a valuable 1m handicap with his name on it when fourth in another strongly-contested event at the Galway Festival on his latest outing. Loughrea is progressing notably well and looks the type to win more races, while Johnny Sodaa, Kalir and Hellorhighwater are others to take seriously.

  1. PIERRE ROYAL (IRE)
  2. LOUGHREA (IRE)
  3. JOHNNY SODA (IRE)
