Lough Neagh Stakes – 2023

Track: Good Weather: Fine

Far Too Easy comes up favourite and brings in some formidable form lines. Scallopini is the class of the race and should make its presence felt while Irish Songs and The Big Goodbye both have plenty of ability and can give this race a shake. Zoushack is due for another win but does strike a good chance in this but will have to overcome the wide draw while the best version of Eleven Eleven would be hard to hold out.

1. Scallopini (8)

Class of the race and good enough to win this but has a tough draw to overcome.

2. Ucalledit (4)  – SCRATCHED

3. Eleven Eleven (3)

Good on its day but hasn’t won in quite some time. Capable but needs to lift.

4. Far Too Easy (5)

Best horse in the race and maps for the run of the race. Should prove hard to hold out in this suitable affair.

5. Irish Songs (2)

Capable of bobbing up at odds and is up to a race like this. Maps well from the draw and should take beating.

6. The Big Goodbye (6)

Class runner that has been well tried and maps for a good run. Goes in the mix.

7. Vinco (11)

Can’t have.

8. Military Expert (7)

Should land on the speed and have every hope. Can win.

9. Alburq (1)

Prefer others.

10. Zoushack (10)

Tough draw but is up to a race like this. Will need to overcome the awkward barrier to be scoring.

11. Otyrar (9)

Can’t have.
