Preview comment:
Irish raider An Saighdiur may be the pick of the remainder as this looks too competitive for old Harrison George.
Explanation:
AN SAIGHDIUR is described as an ‘Irish raider’ because the gelding is trained in Ireland by Andrew Slattery. He is coming over to ‘steal’ a Scottish racing prize.
HARRISON GEORGE was one of the older horses in the race at eight years old and the previewer perhaps thought some of the younger horses would have a better chance than him. The race has tended to be won by younger horses in recent years.
