Echoes In Rain (Paul) runs in the 4yo maiden hurdle over 2 miles. She is a difficult ride and was beaten a long way on her only run for us at Leopardstown last Christmas. She jumps well and is a bit more mature now but this ground might be too soft for her. She is probably best watched today.
Royal Illusion (Paul) makes her hurdling debut in the mares maiden hurdle over 2 miles. She has schooled well and is ready to start her hurdling career. Heavy in the ground description is not ideal but she should give a very good account of herself.
We have two runners in the 2m 3f beginners chase. Karl Der Grosse (David) was third in a beginners chase at the Galway Festival last time but would prefer better ground. Lord Royal (Paul) made his chasing debut at Thurles last month and looked like he was going until when he fell at the second last. He has been working and schooling well at home since and we are hoping he can make amends here.
Take Tea (Patrick) makes her debut in the mares bumper. She is a very nice type by Flemensfirth who should go on this ground. We are expecting a very good run.
