Race preview
SHADOW RIDER was a promising third in a hot maiden hurdle at Navan last month when returning from over 1,000 days off the track. The form of that race was boosted subsequently, with the winner scoring at Grade 2 level, and the selection is proven on testing ground and over this trip. Grangeclare Native himself won his point-to-point and bumper debuts but has yet to win in four hurdle runs. He disappointed at Navan earlier this month but can chase the selection home if returning to his form at the same track the time before. Mount Mellaray showed improvement when second here recently and has place claims being a proven type over this distance and on testing ground.
