Side with Sanserif

SANSERIF, best favoured at the weights and partnered by Epsom Derby hero Johnny Murtagh, is fancied to take the featured Group Three Ballycorus Stakes at Leopardstown tonight.

Michael Halford's filly is on the upgrade and comes here on the back of a career-best performance in the Irish 1000 Guineas at the Curragh.

Successful previously in an ordinary maiden at Gowran Park, the daughter of Fasliyev made a lot of the running before fading in the closing stages to finish about a length and a half sixth behind Saoire.
