Race preview
Hopefully the market will clarify as to what's expected with the returning My Hometown, but for a selection recent winner KITTY GALORE might be a safer choice. Trainer John Ryan had no less than three seconds at Ballinrobe on Saturday and despite the fact that she's up seven pounds, the selection could be up to following up on her Limerick win from Munster National day. Tommy Brett's presence in the plate, with his seven pound claim, is a help, and seeing as the Greenmount Park effort was her first handicap there could be more to come. Karen's Gift is among the others that needs inclusion on the shortlist.
