Although currently holding two entries in Thursday's Group 3 Ballycorus Stakes at Leopardstown, at present trainer Ado McGuinness is leaning towards running Real Appeal in that particular race.

Speaking at Down Royal on Friday, after saddling She's Smart to win the five furlong handicap, the Dubliner said: "Real Appeal probably will go. We have him entered over seven furlongs in Haydock next weekend as well. Money wise it looks good!

"We'll see, he will work in the morning and then we will make a decision. He loves Leopardstown."

With a dry forecast for the coming few days, McGuinness appeared to rule out his second entry in the race: "More than likely Go Athletico will not go as it is giving a good week weather.
