Race preview
WORKING CAPITOL only ran on very testing ground for Oliver McKiernan last winter and beat all bar De Bennette on his handicap debut at Clonmel in January. The six-year-old has been absent since and it will be interesting to note how strong he is in the market now switched to the Ross O'Sullivan yard with Jack Kennedy an eye-catching booking. Yeat's Encore has been generally consistent since switched to handicaps in recent months and should have solid each-way claims in this company. Rossmore's Pride is very lightly-raced for a 12-year-old and not for the first time ran well after a break when a staying on third at Kilbeggan last month. The veteran has dropped down to an attractive mark but previous form suggests he may not progress from that outing. Echoes Of Family, Fair Minded and Fly De Megaudais look the pick of the remainder.
