Cork Race 2 - Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Race
THE PUBLICAN'S SON (6) was second on debut in a G3 contest at the Curragh before being set too high a task in a G1 on his next start. Needed the run when fifth in the G3 Red Rocks Stakes at Leopardstown a fortnight ago and now up to 1600m could take beating. BROWNSTOWN (3) rates highly if she can replicate some of her sound efforts in pattern company from last season. DIAL ME IN (1) wears a first time tongue-strap and the market will be the best guide as to chances on this return to action. ZIA ZABEL (7) caught the eye on debut and ran well last time out. Should make into a nice three year old and is one to watch.

First-starter by Intello out of Above Limits. Prefer to let go without a strong market move.
