Endearing primed to deliver for Weld
The daughter of Selkirk is certainly no star, but clearly has sufficient ability to be competitive in this contest.
After running well to finish second at the Galway Festival, the selection was subsequently a bit disappointing when reappearing at Killarney 16 days later when she could only manage third behind Saajidah and Crazyforlovingyou.
However it should be noted that Saajidah has gone from strength to strength in the meantime and Dibella, fourth at Killarney, scored subsequently.
Endearing has now been given a decent break and gets the vote to strip fresh and well and cope with Askeria. The feature event is the Listed Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Star Appeal Stakes. It’s wide open and one for minimum wagers.
Mark Johnston brings Satin Love across to challenge, but he seems ordinary enough, on the evidence of his fifth at Newbury last time in a nursery.
The hopeful nod falls on Park Avenue, successful on the track five days ago and who is the highest rated in the race.
Tradition, third to Defining Year and Gold Post at Listowel, is the choice in the Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Median Auction Maiden.
