Gowran Park Race 4 - Irish Stallion Farms EBF Victor McCalmont Memorial Stakes (Fillies' And Mares' Listed)
FAIYUM (1) scored over course and distance winning a G3 here in the autumn. Returned with a perfectly adequate performance attempting the G3 Park Express Stakes at the Curragh over Easter. She's a class act and will be hard to beat. SINDRIA (7) deserves a chance at this grade having scored impressively tackling a handicap here last month. One to take very seriously. APERCU (3) brings five wins. Disappointed in this race last year and needs a revival after a low key return to action a fortnight ago. LEMSAIRBAT (5) has only won once however remained competitive at listed level. Cannot be dismissed.
