Mr Coldstone (Paul) runs in the 2 mile novice hurdle. He won a maiden hurdle on his first run for us at Tramore and then finished down the field in a grade 1 behind Appreciate It at Leopardstown. We are dropping him back into calmer waters here and hopefully he is the one to beat.
Yukon Lil (Paul) goes back over hurdles in the 2 mile mares hurdle. She is suited by the race conditions and a first-time tongue tie should be a help. Ideally we would like the ground to dry out a bit but in any case she should see off this opposition.
Belle Metal (Patrick) goes for the listed bumper. She was very impressive on her debut at Naas and the form of that race has worked out well. We’re very happy with her at home and we’ll be disappointed if she’s not in the shake-up.
