FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Top claiming professional of the campaign Simon Torrens could land another win on a major stage here, aboard GUIRI. Torrens had a dream Dublin Racing Festival with successes on A Wave Of The Sea and Drop The Anchor. Those victories came in the J P McManus colours and Guiri could be another for the Limerick man and race sponsor in this fiercely competitive heat. First-time cheek-pieces and coming off a break the selection represents a woman you always want to have on side at this meeting, Jessica Harrington. Upped in trip and racing on a livelier surface may bring about the required progression from Guiri. His 113 rating appears more than workable. Recent Flat winner Bigz Belief is among the many dangers.
