It may be a case of deja vu with DRANGON OF MALTA here. This likeable eight-year-old is at his very best on deep ground, and he showed this when getting off the mark for the first time in over two years on Monday over the mile.
He won this race in 2023, and with Earls likely to tow him along, he’ll get another perfect set-up in this contest. He gets the assistance of emerging 7lb claimer Julian Pietropaolo, who comes in full of confidence on the back of riding a double at Punchestown last week.
If he shows no ill effects from Monday’s easy win, Dragon Of Malta can make it back-to-back victories for us.
This isn’t the strongest renewal of the Listowel Stakes, and Nowalk Havoc, who is already a winner at this level, looks the one to beat.
However, Joseph O’Brien saddles three in it, with the most interesting one being the filly SOFT WINDS. She has been sent off at big prices on all eight of her runs since arriving from France, but she showed signs on her latest run at this level in Killarney that she may be about to strike.
She was a winner on soft ground in France over further, and with title-chasing Dylan Brown McMonagle taking the ride, she looks set for a bold showing.
A tight enough six-runner contest, and you can’t rule out any with much confidence. Red Autumn ran well on soft ground on her latest start and looks a player back up to a mile.
Limestone may not have won a race yet, but this son of New Bay looks to have a lot more to offer. It will be only a matter of time before he gets his head in front. However, it can pay to side with Aidan O’Brien’s EXTRAVAGANT. The son of Wootton Bassett got off the mark at the fourth time of asking when stepping up to a mile for the first time.
He defied top weight that day to get the better of Bellamano, and there is no reason why the places will be reversed. With more improvement to come, Extravagant can make light work of his 7lb higher mark.
