We have two in the 2 mile beginners chase. Paul has picked Chavez who unseated his rider at the first at Down Royal at Christmas. He is usually a good jumper at home and hopefully he will have learned from that experience. Ideally he would prefer further but these race conditions suit and he should be involved at the business end. Henn See (Sean O’Keeffe) fell at the second last at Clonmel when still in contention. That was his chasing debut and a clear round here would give him every chance. He will like this ground.
Spanish Harlem (Paul) goes for the novice hurdle over 2m 3f. He was third over 2 miles at Gowran on his first run for us and will be better suited by this longer trip. He will love the ground and the track will suit. He won’t be far away.
In Excess (Paul) runs in the 2 mile maiden hurdle. He ran well when second at Limerick over Christmas and should improve from that run. He will enjoy the ground and he should be very competitive.
Hauturiere (Paul) is in the mares maiden hurdle over 2m 3f. She ran well when second over a similar trip at Limerick last time and with a little improvement will hopefully shed her maiden tag today.
