We have two runners in the 2m 6f novice hurdle. Jon Snow (Paul) won over 2m 4f at Galway and the longer trip here shouldn’t be a problem. He is suited by the race conditions and will really like this ground. Kaatskill Nap (Danny) won a maiden hurdle at Galway but mightn’t be suited by the soft ground today.
Buildmeupbuttercup (Paul) goes back over hurdles in the 2m 1f mares’ listed hurdle. She is well ahead on ratings and will go on the ground. She should be hard to beat.
Shanning (Paul) goes for the 2m 1f handicap hurdle. She ran well in Galway after a long break and that run should have left her right for this. She has a lot of weight but the ground won’t be a problem for her.
Purple Mountain (Patrick) runs in the bumper over 2m 1f. She had a fairly good run on her debut in a bumper at Punchestown at the end of last year and is fit and well for today. However, she might not like this soft ground.
