Race preview
A weak affair and it's difficult to be overly confident about any of these. Denis Hogan and Gavin Cromwell are both double-handed, with the Hogan pair of Wojood and Malbas both live contenders. Cromwell introduces Kabin Fever Two and she won't have to be anything out of the ordinary to win this on debut. KENDANCER is the highest rated of those with a mark and the French bred gelding looks the safest option. Placed three times over flights, he was fourth on his return to action at Bellewstown last month. He should come on plenty for that effort and it'll be disappointing if he is not involved towards the business end here. Paul Townend is a significant jockey booking on Gallic Boy and the John Clifford trained six-year-old is given second preference. He went down by just a neck at Roscommon on his latest start and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go one place better now. Ed The Red for Henry de Bromhead and Paul Hennessy's Right Turn Clyde are others that warrant respect.
