Captain Kangaroo (Paul) goes for the 2 mile maiden hurdle. He was a bit disappointing when only fourth on his hurdling debut at Naas a few weeks ago. He will improve a lot from that run and we are hoping he will get off the mark over hurdles today.
Aslukwoodhavit (Patrick) makes his debut in the 4yo bumper. He goes well at home and we have been looking forward to seeing him on the racecourse. His pedigree is not as good as some of these rivals so it’s hard to be confident about his chance. A little concern would be the very testing ground but hopefully he will handle it okay.
