We have two runners in the Grade 3 Novice Hurdle over 2 miles. Champ Kiely (Danny) was very impressive over 2m 5f at the Galway festival and hopefully the 2 mile trip here won’t prove too tight. We are expecting him to improve and if he handles the drop back in trip he should go close. Hubrisko (Sean O’Keeffe) also won well at Galway and while he will come on from that run he does take a big step up in class today.
We have two of the five runners in the Grade 3 Novice Chase over 2m 3f. We have had this race in mind for Authorized Art (Danny) since he won impressively at Killarney in August. This trip and ground will suit and we are confident of another big run. Rambranlt’jac (Brian Hayes) will have to improve a good bit if he is to get involved.
Coole Cherry (Jody Townend) makes her debut in the 4YO Fillies Bumper. She is a nice bumper/hurdle type who is fit and ready to start off. She should run well but with not much form to go on it is hard to assess the opposition.
