1.30 John Ormonde Wexford Sand Irish EBF Maiden 7f

Joseph O’Brien won this with Thunder Moon two years ago he can win again with Al Riffa, who really caught the eye on his debut over this course and distance. The favourite that day Hans Andersen looked set to win comprehensively only for Al Riffa to come from the pack with notably fast late sectionals to close him down to under two lengths. The penny dropped late on for the Wootton Bassett colt and he should have learned from the experience.
