Hurricane Ivor defied a big weight in a handicap at the Curragh eight days ago and did win a Group 3 in 2021. He may be the one to chase home TENEBRISM, who will likely be a short price to follow up his win in this grade at Cork on his return to action given he is rated at least 6lb higher than today’s rivals. Moss Tucker looks held on that Cork run but did beat Big Gossey in a Listed race at the Curragh at the end of last season having earlier finished an excellent fifth in the Prix de l’Abbaye.
