Race preview

Much the weaker of the two divisions. CLODY VALLEY appears to be on a mark he can be competitive off. His first venture into handicap company saw him take second at Clonmel in March. He wouldn't need to step up much on that performance to deliver as he faces a lot of out-of-form rivals. Upgraded ought to make her presence felt. It was just under a year ago that she was seen at her best when winning a staying handicap on the flat at the Galway Festival. She has been unplaced in her three outings since then, but a mark of 95 over hurdles shouldn't be insurmountable to her.
