Carlsberg Handicap (47-65)
5f
Going: Soft
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneEVER ROCK appears to be ideally drawn, just one off the rail, on a track that suits prominent racers such as herself. Making most when winning at Fairyhouse in May, the James Lambe-trained mare had previously run a fine race when third at this venue. Danny Gilligan is sure to have her out smartly in order to take full advantage of her low berth. Gegenpressing is arguably the form horse in the field, having shaped with promise in stronger contests of late. However, given his hold-up running style, he will need the gaps to open at the right time if he is to get involved. Lion Ring is very well handicapped on the best of his runs and hinted that he may be returning to form when third at Down Royal. Talking Tough and Hands Down merit respect as previous course winners.
