Preference is for the lightly-raced VICAR STREET, who finished third in a Punchestown maiden on his seasonal/chasing debut despite racing too freely. With that run behind him, he is taken to open his account in this sphere at the expense of stablemate Ocastle Des Mottes, while Ballystone could go well on his chasing bow.

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: The pace doesn’t look like being overly strong here and Great Attitude should still be served best by being ridden prominently: The leaders will have to go harder than the predicted pace forecast if the hold-up horses such as Ballystone are going to come into things.
Individual Price Hint: Mickie Angel traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP twice and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 3 of its last 5 starts: Seventy Eight Team traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 5 starts.
