Race preview
Ger Lyons is saddling plenty of winners and his EDWARD HOPPER ought to be on the premises. He was fifth in Listed company on his seasonal debut at Leopardstown this month which should have him primed for this. It's his close second in a Gowran Park maiden last September, though, that really catches the eye as the winner went on to score in Group 2 company. Lake Sand made a promising debut when coming home well for third (just failed by a head to get up for second) in Limerick last week. There should be plenty more to come. Johnny Murtagh's stable is in blistering form and Aztec Parade ran well at 28/1 on debut to finish second without troubling a good winner. Line Judge was only caught close home in Gowran Park which gives her prospects.
