Racing Post verdict
Third-partyLoingseoir is a moderate selection on our figures for this 13-runner test over 10 furlongs at Ballinrobe, rated just three pounds clear of a pair of established dangers in Lady Chartwell and Bucaneer's Spirit. It's a competitive race, hence only medium confidence, with several runners clustered close together on our figures. Signor Ferrari, not far behind that leading trio, adds to the depth and cannot be ruled out either. Loingseoir remains our selection, but this is more a case of picking the head of a well-matched field than a standout.
