Cork Race 4 - Irish EBF Auction Series Maiden
HANNEY BOY (6) sets the standard after a debut 2nd at Cork over 1005m on soft, beaten 5.5L, and now steps to 1207m with experience on the track and conditions. SEVEN NATION ARMY (2) has race fitness with two runs this month but was 8th at Navan over 1170m, beaten 21.4L, so needs sharp improvement. SOPHIA ROYALE (14) also comes from that Cork maiden but finished 10th, beaten 21.45L. The remainder are newcomers and market may guide, but Hanney Boy (6) rates the key chance on exposed form.
