1st - €9,000.00 2nd - €3,000.00 3rd - €1,500.00 4th - €750.00 5th - €450.00 6th - €300.00 Dry and breezy
FormscanBy Donal Murphy - This looks to concern just a few, with preference for six-time winner ENNISKERRY. Two from two on the level and successful in a similar contest at Listowel last month, the 10-year-old is highly rated over fences and should have too much class for his eight rivals. A smart performer over flights, second preference goes to Samui. On his first try under Flat rules, he comfortably justified favouritism at Down Royal in May and is sure to have plenty of supporters in his bid to follow-up. A four-time winner in the UK, Eagle's Way is an interesting contender on what will be his second start for current connections. The Gleneagles chestnut is rated just 1lb lower than the selection and should give a good account of himself with Dara McGill aboard. Benjis Benefit and Qasbaz hit the crossbar recently and they both warrant respect.
For four years old and upwards that have not won a race value more than #10,000
Weights - 11st Fillies allowed 5lbs
Penalties - (to count from 1st July, 2023) For each race won 5lb extra
Riders - Qualified Riders under I.N.H.S. Rules. Allowances to Riders under Rule 52 may be claimed in this race.

Quotes on Enniskerry (IRE)
He is 10 but has low mileage on the clock, is a serious work-horse and has a great appetite for the job. I don't know how many people asked me was he going to win today and I just said 'yes' - I've never been more confident about a horse winning than I was today. I made a mistake last year by running him in the Galway Plate as he is a two-miler. He was bang there jumping the last fence but is so genuine that he emptied the tank and we had to leave him until this year. . He will now get a mark and needs one more run to qualify to run in one of the better handicaps. He might go to Galway for the amateur race as he and Finny (Maguire) get on great. I have the Cesarewitch in the back of my head as well and the further he goes the better, as he is a galloper. . It was a good performance and without saying he is a superstar, he will definitely pay his way. We'll keep him for the flat, there is plenty of life in the old dog yet.

Quotes on Samui (GB)
I was worried about the ground, which is yielding, but he went through it better than most. I was actually very nervous about my four runners due to the rain which came. Whatever happened he choked with Jack (Kennedy, jockey) the last day at Ballinrobe but it worked out today. . I don't think he is a winter horse but is definitely a type to head to Cheltenham in November. We might then put him away as he could also run on the flat next year.
