Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Tir Og
Tir Og looks the right choice at Galway, with our ratings putting her 8 lb ahead of She'll Be Kept, a gap that is meaningful rather than overwhelming over this extended 22 furlongs on good to soft ground. She'll Be Kept is the main danger, while Western Shores and Grace Faraday sit a further few pounds back and could still improve into the picture if the stamina test bites. This is a competitive-looking seven-runner contest and confidence is low, but Tir Og has the best profile of the field, so she is our selection.
