Race preview
It's no surprise to see DREAL DEAL turned out again quickly. An easy winner at Limerick on Saturday, he is set for a hefty hike from the handicapper. The stewards enquired into the apparent improvement in form of the selection after his Greenmount Park success, with the handicapper Mark Bird stating 'Dreal Deal showed improved form in the region of two stone on his previous flat runs.' Carrying just an additional 6lb winner's penalty here, the son of Arvico should prove very hard to beat. With entries at Punchestown, Tramore and the Curragh later this week, it'll be interesting to see if he takes up any of those engagements. Poster Child showed ability on her handicap debut at Navan last week and she is given second preference, fitted with cheekpieces for the first time. Recent course winner Han Solo is sure to have plenty of supporters, while Pulsating, Launch Her and Harvey Specter are others for the shortlist.
