Ejteyaazset to go one better

KEVIN PRENDERGAST’S once-raced Ejteyaaz is the nap choice in the Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Maiden at Tipperary this afternoon.

The surface is certain to be testing and that is unlikely to worry the son of Red Ransom. He was the medium of some decent wagers on his debut at Roscommon 12 days ago, but the money remained solidly in the satchels.

The selection attracted plenty of support in the morning and was taken from 9-4 to 6-4 at the track. But, on heavy ground, he went under by a length and a quarter to Jim Bolger’s Marfach, who had the benefit of two previous outings.
