Punica Granatum
5/1
3rd
Manton Bay
5/1
KING OF EARTH is a choicely bred sort on an upward curve and may have been let in lightly on handicap debut. The application of cheekpieces could give him an extra edge and he is taken to land the prize for Britain. Punica Granatum was unlucky not to score here last time behind a rival who has since won at Royal Ascot and rates the chief threat, with the unexposed Manton Bay, who shaped better than the bare result at Navan, and Antigua also respected.

About The Selections

Andy Stephens

King Of Earth William Haggas has a great record with his Curragh raiders and his King Of Earth appeals here, making his handicap bow in first-time cheekpieces.

Angus McNae

Rolltight Makes his handicap debut off a mark of 88 and that could be a generous rating given that the form of his maiden win at Gowran Park last time out got a boost on Friday when the runner-up Loughrea won at the Curragh.

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: There is a chance of a pace burnout early, and Antigua and Satoyama are two who could suffer: Such a hotly-contested pace as is on the cards here may be to the benefit of Punica Granatum and Manton Bay who can be expected to be ridden with restraint.
Individual Price Hint: Punica Granatum traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 4 starts: Ryefield Dasher has traded at 50% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 4 starts.
