Race preview

The first juvenile hurdle of the season was an eventful affair at Roscommon on Tuesday last, with just seven finishers from sixteen starters. ETERNAL PRESENCE is one of five who ran at Roscommon that are turned out again here. The Joseph O'Brien trained gelding filled the runner-up spot at the western venue and with that experience under his belt, he can be expected to go one place better now. Project Two, Television and Whipsaw were third, fourth and fifth at Roscommon, with the former given second preference under seven-pound claimer Nicholas Terrassin. Grand Revival, Li Mu Bai and Calvados are others for the shortlist. Second reserve Feigh, for Willie Mullins and Paul Townend, would change the complexion of the race if getting a run.
