Race Tip

ENDORSEMENT (3) made the frame in a pair of G3 events before an easy 7L success contesting the Listed King George V Cup over 1m4f at Leopardstown a fortnight ago. Represents leading connections with the stable and jockey winning this last year. Top pick. MORSHDI (8) brings two wins from four attempts including a 1L success in the 1m1f Listed Feilden Stakes at Newmarket before a creditable 6L fifth tackling the 1m2 1/2f G2 Dante Stakes at York. Big claims. ITALY (6) produced a smart third in the 7f G1 National Stakes at Curragh last year. Started this season with a decent 3. 5L fourth trying the 1m2f G3 Ballysax Stakes won by a future Epsom Derby hero at Leopardstown during April. In the mix tackling this trip. OXAGON (2) and MAHO BAY (7) are both considered.
