Race Tip

First classic on the Irish calendar. The G1 two-year-old winner ROSALLION (6) showed his class taking the 7f G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp (France) before returning in 2024 with a strong 1.5L second attempting the G1 2000 Guineas tackling this trip at Newmarket (UK). Top chance. RIVER TIBER (5) won the 6f G2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot (UK) prior to a smart third in the top level G1 Prix Morny at Deauville (France). Ended last season with a good third in the Newmarket G1 Middle Park Stakes. Distance is in question but represents leading connections. Consider. UNQUESTIONABLE (8) managed to win the first race (maiden) on this card last year. Found success contesting the 1m Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf at Santa Anita (USA). Include. HAATEM (3) placed third attempting the aforementioned Newmarket 2000 Guineas. Not to be dismissed.
