had gone close on his last 2 starts and coped well with the drop back in trip without the hood this time, this easily his best effort for current yard and close to his best from in Ireland; held up, smooth headway from halfway, quickened to lead inside final 1f, had bit in hand; he was 5 lb wrong at the weights from out of the handicap and with his jockey putting up 1 b overweight, connections perhaps obliged to turn him out under a penalty from effectively a similar mark, for all he's already been busy of late.

was sent off at big odds for one chasing a hat-trick and ran at least as well as last time, this trip suiting just as well as shorter (winner over even further for old yard); mid-field, travelled well, shaken up over 1f out, driven inside final 1f, late headway.

back on softer ground, ran creditably after 6 weeks off; held up, pushed along 2f out, carried head bit awkwardly, late headway, his rider seeming reluctant to use the whip, his head carriage perhaps suggesting he's not the sort to respond all that well to it.

who goes well at this track (2 wins and 3 places from 7 previous starts here), shaped promisingly on first outing for a new yard (previously trained by Keith Dalgleish), and though he's gone back up the weights for 2 wins earlier in the year, there are still more races to be won with him from this sort of mark; prominent, travelled well, quickened to lead 2f out, headed inside final 100 yds, did too much too soon.

More a trial for the Silver Cup in truth, none of these rated high enough to have got in last year's Gold version and no more than a fairly useful handicap in its own right, the pace a sound one which meant coming from the second half of the field was an advantage, Ramiro sweeping through to look a comfortable winner despite being out of the handicap, with Aberama Gold shaping well as best of those that raced close up; the field raced as one down the centre with the exception of the pair that brought up the rear. RAMIRO (IRE) had gone close on his last 2 starts and coped well with the drop back in trip without the hood this time, this easily his best effort for current yard and close to his best from in Ireland; held up, smooth headway from halfway, quickened to lead inside final 1f, had bit in hand; he was 5 lb wrong at the weights from out of the handicap and with his jockey putting up 1 b overweight, connections perhaps obliged to turn him out under a penalty from effectively a similar mark, for all he's already been busy of late.
