Training, which takes place under an overcast sky and in pleasant freshness, is devoted to gallops today. Two foreign jockeys are absent : Robbie Burke and Noel Callow who is suffering from a back pain since Sunday. Some 50 enthusiasts are present and observe participants to the 26th meeting.

Senor Versace, Solar Symbol and Not Liable work together at a moderate pace, accelerating only over the last 200 meters.

What Price and Baron Blixen do not work very fast, but they are in very good physical condition. Eskimo Roll shows alongside Ask The Afghan, galloping 600m in 36.41 and ending freely in 23.62.

Other horses who hold the attention at work are Honour In Gold, Ashanti Gold, Dreams Come True and The Sneaker (23.89 over 400m), Piece Of Paradise, Traianius, High Accolade, Red Lotus, Salvador Dali, Running On, Seeking Angelo and Tandragee.

A barrier trial takes place at 0630 and brings together Captain's Key (Lermyte), Valmone (Mansour) and The Last Samurai (Woodworth). These three horses run 1000m in 1.01 and fraction.
