Reggae ready to rock

GER LYONS’ Reggae Rock is fancied to shrug off top weight in the Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Auction Maiden at Dundalk this afternoon.

He created a big impression on his debut at Leopardstown last month and, hopefully, can build on that performance. The bare form of his half a length second behind Bobbyscot is promising, but that only tells half of the story.

The selection was slowly away, then jumped the roadway shortly after the start, and was immediately nearer last than first of the 16-strong field.
