Chrisco (Paul) goes for the 2m 4f maiden hurdle. He needs to improve on his run at Sligo last month where he finished third. He can be very keen but if he settles he has his chance. He will appreciate this longer trip and hopeully he will go close.
Lily’s Choice (Paul) makes her hurdling debut in the 3 mile maiden hurdle. She has point to point experience and is a very good jumper. She needs a trip like this and hopefully that might bring out the best in her.
Hubrisko (Paul) runs in the 2m 3f beginners chase. He was a little unlucky when second at Punchestown last time and with normal improvement should be competitive today. He will like the trip and the ground will be fine for him.
Friends (Patrick) makes her debut in the mares bumper over 2m 4f. She is well bred and needs a trip like this. Her homework suggests she has every chance here and we are hoping for the best.
