Affair can strike in Plate

VINCENT WARD, who saddles Fictional Account in tomorrow’s Irish St Leger at the Curragh, can land Her Majesty’s Plate with End Of The Affair at Down Royal this evening.

The useful seven-year-old has plenty going for her at the weights and anything approaching her best should be sufficient to deliver.

Five of the six runners — Donatis Comet is the odd one out — have a rating and the selection has between 9lbs and 21lbs in hand of them all.
