Race preview
MICK CHARLIE ran well on his debut for Declan Queally at Tramore last month and it might be worth taking a chance on the son of Mr Dinos in this open contest. In a first time hood, the eight-year-old gelding raced towards rear for much of that Graun Hill contest, making late gains to finish a never nearer fifth. That was his first try in handicap company and it'll be interesting to see if he can make an even greater impact now with Sean O'Keeffe taking a valuable five pounds off. In Your Shadow is likely to prove a popular choice with punters and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to follow-up on his Tipperary success here. Course and distance winner Musical Ava is another leading contender for John and Martin Burke, while others for the shortlist are the four-year-old Faerie Laws (first time cheekpieces), Gowran third Stadius and the Paul Fahey trained Headline Joe.
