Curragh Race 3 - Montane Developments Beresford Stakes (Group 2)
The G3 winning HOTAZHELL (1) found success contesting a 1400m Leopardstown G3 before a smart second in the G2 Futurity Stakes here over 1400m. Ticks all the boxes. Big chance. LAMBOURN (2) arrives unbeaten following a 0.75L victory among Listed company tackling this trip at Craon (France). Represents top connections. Finds ideal opportunity. Main danger. Stablemate TRINITY COLLEGE (4) was off the mark at the third attempt securing a 12L success in a 1600m maiden at Galway. Consider. Similar comments can be applied to WINDLORD (5) who won a 1600m novice race at York (UK) by 5.5L. Makes for appeal.
