Verdict
Torivega had raced at Listed and Group 3 level before having a simple task in a Cork maiden. The Highway Rat couldn't quite give 10lb to Laugh A Minute in a Curragh handicap back in March but goes well fresh while Hurricane Ivor takes a drop in class after running in a Curragh Group 3. Silmaniya had Parting Glass well behind when just failing to concede 13lb to the winner at the Curragh but this can go to ARNHEM, beaten a head in this in 2021 and relatively lightly raced subsequently. He was a winner at the Curragh last week.
