Race preview
The form of MICK THE JIVER's easy chase victory over Kilcarry Bridge at Navan stands out a mile with the latter touched off in Grade 3 company last week and, returning to hurdles off a lowly mark, he could prove difficult to beat. Gold Smoke and 7lb claimer Cathal Landers have struck up a good relationship and that pair merit consideration as they bid to add to recent victories at both Tipperary and Listowel, while Conna Cross, Mistheatre, Carrigready, Rebel Ace and Megara also have bits and pieces of chances.
