DARK RED was runner-up in a Class 2 handicap at York last time and could figure for Ed Dunlop. Dermot Weld has a strong hand with jockey bookings suggesting Galway third Karalara is preferred to Simannka and Munaashid while Ger Lyons runs the unexposed pair Elusive Heights and Savannah Storm with the latter preferred. Killarney runner-up Bravery represents Ballydoyle and Ringside Humour is preferred to stablemate Siamsaiocht after finishing second to Hawke at Dundalk last time. Castle Guest won over a mile here under today’s 10lb claimer but stable companion Hasanour has plenty to prove over today’s longer trip, as does Boherbuoy.
