Leopardstown Race 7 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Nursery Hcp
CITY OF GOLD (1) made it back-to-back placings when following a second at Galway with another runner-up effort at the same venue. Ticks plenty of boxes now entering nursery company. Strong chance. KING CHRISTOPH (2) impressed when second on Listowel racecourse debut. Went one better to open his account nine-days-ago tackling the trip at Thurles. Respect. SNAPEQUUS (8) got off the mark at Dundalk earlier this month. Steps up in distance switching to turf and enters calculations adopting first-time cheekpieces. ADMIRED BEAUTY (4) got the job done gaining a narrow success in a Naas maiden six-days-ago. In the mix.
