“Handy in third at halfway - moved through wide entering the straight - hit the front before 3 out - full of running to the last - shaken up on the run-in to clear away - won readily”

Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Jupiter Du Gite
Jupiter Du Gite heads the ratings alongside Palace Boy on 119, making this a genuinely open contest at the top, with Crowsatedappletart a few pounds back and Folly Beach lurking as a further danger over this stamina-testing eighteen-furlong trip at Cork. The good ground suits front-runners and hold-up horses alike across such a marathon trip, so positional tactics will count for plenty in a twenty-strong field. Palace Boy represents the most obvious threat given the identical rating, while Crowsatedappletart could outrun the gap if conditions suit. **Jupiter Du Gite** is the selection, though this is a race where only a narrow edge separates the leading contenders.
