Racing Post verdict
Third-partyCool Summer heads into this two-mile contest at Ballinrobe carrying a fitness edge and a progressive profile that gives her a compelling case despite sitting a few pounds behind the top-rated Grey Gardens and the closely matched Ikalimix and Sayitfirst. Her book of form reads as the more solid of the principals, and over this stamina-testing trip on good ground that consistency could prove the decisive factor in a competitive 19-runner field. Grey Gardens, Ikalimix and Sayitfirst all represent genuine dangers and must be respected. With confidence tempered by the size of the field, Cool Summer is our selection.
Racing Post pick: Cool Summer
