16:40 Curragh - 16 August 2019 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

The Jessica Harrington-trained YULONG VOICE can step up on his encouraging debut run at Bellewstown last month to land the opening race here under jockey Shane Foley. The son of Poet's Voice will face stiff opposition from experienced duo, Edward Hopper for the Ger Lyons yard and the Noel Meade-trained, Luke Short who can both be expected to improve on their debut runs. Newcomers, Brook On Fifth and Kokura are worth market checks as post time approaches, while the Mick Halford pair, Overtake and Strip Light can go well on debut.
