Race preview

It might pay to side with dual course winner, and top-rated, KORBOUS in what looks a tricky puzzle for punters to solve. He has been hammering on the door recently and, despite slowly edging up the ratings, seems sure to be in the firing line again. Hasselnott backed up his Gowran win with a solid placed effort at the Galway Festival and has the potential to improve further now equipped with a hood. He warrants plenty of respect, as does recent Curragh scorer Captain Cullen and C&D runner-up Cloudy Miss.
