Race preview
Recent winners Mystic Embarr and A Girl Like Me are sure to prove popular with punters. Both won with plenty in hand at Fairyhouse and Galway respectively and it'll come as little surprise if either manages to follow up. ONEKNIGHTMOREIHOPE finished second to Mystic Embarr at Fairyhouse, but he might be able to reverse the form now. The selection was making his debut in handicap company at Fairyhouse and he looks open to further progress, with the step up in trip likely to suit. Betterask Jj also filled the runner-up spot on his most recent start and he has definite claims with Ambrose McCurtin aboard. Iridescent is of interest for Jonathan and Mikey Fogarty, while Lisavalley Lass and Rubiana are others for the shortlist.
