Race preview

Perhaps Cal Shine can get off the mark on the racetrack proper here aboard TIME TO BITE. The Banteer County Cork native has impressed plenty with his performances in point-to-points, and he's a graduate of the pony racing circuit. He can't claim in this event which is obviously no great help, but as a mere five-year-old the selection could be progressive enough to manage an 88 rating. Louis Archdeacon's charge had a thankless task trying to keep pace with Dreal Deal last time, and didn't do too badly in the circumstances to finish fourth. The bronze medallist then, Sullane Hill, has franked the form with a Thurles success since. Time To Bite's fellow Rebel County contenders, Queen Of Fame and Whoyakodding are among the dangers.
