Race preview
HADMAN is the sole winner in the line-up and he looks the one to beat. The son of Starspangledbanner has progressed with each run and made the breakthrough at Gowran on his most recent start. He beat Once Upon A River into third at the Co Kilkenny venue and that one since gave the form a boost by winning in good style at Roscommon on Tuesday. Up Above has two solid efforts to his name and the Michael O'Callaghan trained colt is given second preference. Ger Lyons and owners SBA Racing Limited had plenty of success with Frenetic last year and it'll be interesting to see how their newcomer Geometric fares. Heart To Heart cost £580,000 as a yearling and while she has been disappointing in two starts to date, she is surely capable of better. Mary Pickersgill looks the best of the rest and can be expected to come on plenty for her recent course and distance debut run.
