Today's Racecards

VERDICT: Willie Mullins has dominated this race in recent years and the master of Closutton saddles a whopping 11 runners, although he doesn't appear to have a standout candidate, with Lady Vega Allen possibly his best chance. She has twice been beaten by Hello Neighbour, including at the Dublin Racing Festival, and could struggle to reverse form with Gavin Cromwell's gelding, while French import Larzac is interesting but you would like to see more market support behind him. The home team perhaps have a stronger hand, with East India Dock looking the most solid option. A smart operator on the Flat for James Fanshawe, the son of Golden Horn hasn't looked back since being switched to timber, clocking up three wins and improving with each start. He has won on both the New and Old Courses here, seemingly goes on any ground, and is a straightforward ride. His main danger could be Lulamba, who arrived from France with a big reputation and made light work of beating Mondo Man at Ascot. Tom Lacey's unbeaten hurdler Gibbs Island could go well at longer odds.
