Zarak The Brave (Paul) runs in the Limestone Lad Hurdle over 1m 7f. We gave him a little break after a very disappointing run at Tipperary in October. He has been working really well at home and it will be disappointing if he isn’t capable of taking care of this opposition.
We have two runners in the 3m 1f novice chase. Embassy Gardens (Paul) progressed nicely to win on his chasing debut at Punchestown last month and has every chance of following up in this competitive chase. Meetingofthewaters (Brian Hayes) showed a lot of improvement to win the Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown but this is a different clas of race and he may not be up to this standard yet.
We also run two in the maiden hurdle over 2m 2f. Icare Desbois (Paul) ran a great race when third at Leopardstown and that form gives him every chance here. Special Cadeau (Danny) is making his hurdling debut and will have to leave his bumper form behind if he is to have a chance.
Jasmin De Vaux (Patrick) has his first run for us in the bumper over 2m 2f. He has won a point to point and shows plenty of ability at home. We are really looking forward to getting him out.
