Irish Stallion Farms EBF Bold Lad Sprint Handicap (Premier Handicap)

Group 3 C&D winner in September 2023; took advantage of reduced mark for big handicap win here in the Scurry here in July; probably vulnerable now.

Added to January's 5f Dundalk maiden success with a Cork handicap win in May; second to Keke here in the 5f Rockingham, won over 5f at Cork on latest; holds a definite chance.

All eight turf wins at this venue (also placed here on ten occasions); as good as ever when landing the 7f Gladness Stakes over C&D in March; form since has been variable; can never be totally ruled out here but others are preferred.

Won 6f Navan maiden on the second of two juvenile starts; ran well in defeat in Group 3 races on her first two outings this season; out of her depth in the Commonwealth Cup; subsequent stakes race form linked to the smart Sky Majesty gives her a big chance.

Won premier handicap over 5f last September after finishing fourth in this race; notched third win at this track when taking Rockingham Handicap in June; excuse at Cork in race won by Red Evolution; second to Sarahmae under a big weight last time; 15lb higher than last year, but his form merits it; respected.
