FormscanBy John O'Riordan - SMOKE THEM OUT can land this valuable prize for trainer Tom McCourt. Although raised 9lb for his recent Cork win, the Sands Of Mali colt was always travelling easily before quickening up smartly to go clear inside the final furlong. In a race where one or two of the leading fancies have questions to answer, the McCourt runner looks the most solid option. Dropping back to sprinting may not be ideal for The Parthenon but Aidan O'Brien's colt is clearly the class horse. Last of eight in the Group 1 National Stakes, this represents a significantly easier task. Navan nursery winner Last Encore will need to improve but the fact that he is his stable's only runner is worth noting.
An extended handicap for two years old only that are EBF eligible and that at entry have run two or more times under any Rules of Racing and are eligible for a handicap rating (95 = 9st 10lbs)
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
