FormscanBy Michael Graham - Joseph O'Brien's DESMOND CASTLE came with a barnstorming run in the Curragh, but wandered in the closing stages and finished second. He is a work in progress and the ground will be an unknown, but he clearly has an engine. Medici Venus has to give plenty of weight away, however, her form has a solid look to it. She made the breakthrough in Listowel and there could be more to come from her. O'Brien's Montpellier Green was the horse that beat Desmond Castle by half a length in the Curragh, so he merits automatic respect. Yamal could respond to first-time blinkers, while Faoladh shouldn't be discounted in the first-time tongue-strap.
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 (90 = 9st 10lbs)
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.

Quotes on Montpellier Green (IRE)
It was a nice run. It took us a bit of time to get him figured out. The bit of juice in the ground helped him today and he won nicely, he was tough. He's had the headgear on and off and we tried cheekpieces as well, but we stuck to the blinkers today and he showed a good attitude. The second horse ran well, he had run well in Galway as well. He snuck into the race well and came home nicely. Dec (McDonogh) said he was green under pressure and ran around a good bit. He's going the right way.

Quotes on Runninsonofagun (IRE)
A mile suited him and he looks to me like a tough and hardy handicapper. He could go for a mile nursery in Listowel. We bred him and have a full brother and sister coming along.
