Verdict

ROJUCO MAC shaped with plenty of promise when third in a decent-quality event at this course in February and looks the one to beat in receipt of weight from Down Royal scorer Ballyfad, who seems sure to do better. Grandy Lane made an encouraging start in this sphere when runner-up at Clonmel recently and must enter calculations, too.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Bobble/Stumble

A slip or a duck from a horse trying to leave the starting gates, often caused by the surface giving way under the feet. This can range from a mild misstep to a stumble down to their knees.

Show Wager

Betting on a horse to finish in the first three spots, which pays out the same whether they win or run second or third.

Trifecta

A wager picking the first, second and third horses in the exact order. A trifecta box means paying more to ensure the horses can finish in any order in the top three spots.
