Race preview
Jockey Mike O'Connor has been enjoying his trips to Downpatrick and could get another winner with SANI PASS. This seven-year-old mare was last seen finishing runner-up at Tramore in mid-August. O'Connor's 5lb claim certainly puts her on an attractive mark. Rippon Lodge has been out twice this month when bouncing back to form in second at Tramore before delivering by a head at the same track. Jockey Bryan Cooper comes in for the ride and he has been forging a good alliance with trainer John Ryan. Course and distance winner Itsalonglongroad, recent Sligo hurdle winner My Manekineko, Clody Valley (who was behind Sani Pass in third at Tramore) and Western Sea make this an interesting contest.
