Race preview

Grade 2 bumper-placed RISK FACTOR has been underwhelming over hurdles thus far, but an extended 1m7f around a track like Thurles could be just what the doctor ordered for a horse bred to have plenty of pace. Gorki D'airy finished third in an AQPS race in France in October 2019, and Willie Mullins put him over a staying trip as he began his jumping career at Tramore on New Year's Day. Well put in his place by Minella Escape on that occasion, there's surely better to come as he gains experience. Bal De Rio, Schone Aussicht, Hamundarson and Inviction are others who could come into it.
