18:55 Boyle Handicap Hurdle (80-102)

Race preview

STEALTHY TOM was sent off favourite for his handicap hurdle debut at Wexford in May and the half-brother to Grade One-winning chaser Gilgamboa duly obliged. It wasn't the strongest of contests and he's been raised 8lb, but he's obviously open to more improvement and can follow up. Paul Townend's booking for Punters Poet catches the eye and he looks a danger after his close-up third over 2m4f at Navan, but the drop in trip and likely ease in the ground leave him with a few points to prove. Call The Fairies ran well in her first start of the year at Downpatrick in May before being brought down early last time and she is one to consider along with Stansfield, who went close on his last hurdles outing and is rated much lower in this discipline compared to his chase mark. Recent course winner Gone Racing has a preference for good ground and others are preferred on this occasion.
