Race preview

The conditions of this race could hardly be framed better for SEANBHOTHAR, being for horses rated 102 or less over hurdles. The Joseph O'Brien-trained gelding showed promise in bumpers and maiden hurdles and has arguably the best piece of form over fences in the line-up having finished third behind Corran Cross here last month. The lightly-raced Withallduerespect progressed well over hurdles this summer, scoring in good style at Tramore last time, and is sure to be well schooled coming from the De Bromhead academy. Listenheretomejack has won twice over hurdles and is an interesting recruit to fences, while the Gordon Elliott-trained pair The Abbey and Hurricane Georgie also make appeal.
