Race preview
Dual hurdles winner CAFE CON LECHE possibly didn't enjoy the surface at Dundalk when last running on the Flat but has strong claims on overall form. He's been runner-up three times in maidens and didn't have a clear passage when second to a horse now rated 85 at Naas in November. Joey Sheridan's claim will help as will a good cut in the ground. Timemakesitfine is a former stablemate of the selection and ran away with a handicap at Fairyhouse last summer. She has struggled off higher marks since, but a recent hurdles outing may have sweetened her up a bit and she has the champion jockey's assistance. Expensive yearling Affable won a handicap on soft ground at Newmarket last year and may show more on her second start for current connections in a first-time hood, while Nailed Down has been put in at a claiming price that gives her a chance at the weights and she ran well in a handicap at this track on her second-last outing.
