Adrian Murray had a 125/1 winner at Fairyhouse on Wednesday and Kodi Red is the form pick here. He's twice finished behind the speedy Wodao, included a Listed race at Tipperary last week, though he may be better suited by an easier track than this and REINFORCE may have his measure. He improved markedly from his debut to finish a close third behind subsequent Railway Stakes third Apache Outlaw at Fairyhouse and the form could get a boost from the fourth, Polar Bear, in the opener. Palace Gardens, who finished just in front at Fairyhouse, then found an extended 7f on heavy ground too much for her at Roscommon. Lightupthesky has a very speedy pedigree and is one to note.
