Yes — the AI top-rated horse, Glenmalure Flyer, won the race (AI score 64.5).
Top finishers: 1. Glenmalure Flyer (IRE) (4.33), 2. Friends Don't Ask (GB) (8.50), 3. Radharc Na Slaine (IRE) (15.00).
The winning time was 6m 8.22s, 20.22s slower than standard.
Slaney Opera has been in consistent form over marathon trips, running third, fourth and third on his last three completions; he got to the front too soon last time and paid for it, but allow for that and the form before his latest blip is solid. Glenmalure Flyer is a point winner who has joined a powerful yard and her stable debut warrants respect if she shows strongly in the market. Henry Box Brown holds a competitive mark on his better form and should not be dismissed. Slaney Opera, better placed with a more patient ride and effective on this ground at this distance, is our selection.
