Race preview
ESPION DU CHENET looked to be making progress when getting the third-last wrong and unseating Ryan Treacy at Thurles. He won narrowly at the same course previously and looks capable of adding another race in a moderate contest. Conright Boy weakened tamely enough over hurdles at Naas but ran well when third over fences at Fairyhouse previously and could be a contender back over the larger obstacles. Front-runner Stoughan Cross had just been joined when tipping up three out at Fairyhouse and having won here previously, he is another who has to have a shout.
