Et Dite (Danny) goes for the 2m 5f beginners chase. She ran well enough over 2m 3f at Limerick over Christmas and this longer trip will be a big help. It looks like a very good race and we will be pleased if she gets into the money.
Gauloise (Paul) runs in the 2m 2f Grade 2 Mares Novice Hurdle. She won a mares’ novice hurdle at Thurles last month but this is a big step up in class. The extra trip today and testing ground won’t be a problem for her. Royal Kahala will be a tough nut to crack and it should be a very informative race.
M C Muldoon (Patrick) runs in division one of the 2 mile maiden hurdle. He has improved since finishing fourth on his hurdling debut at Leopardstown at Christmas and we think a change of tactics today could make a big difference. We are expecting a big run.
Micro Manage (Paul) is in division two of the 2 mile maiden hurdle. He was very free when third at Leopardstown so we are hoping that a first-time hood today will be a big help. With the experience gained at Leopardstown it will be disappointing if he fails to get off the mark over hurdles here.
