Race preview

A weak race. ETERNAL STORY could write a winning chapter. His sixth place in a big field maiden hurdle at Navan last month wasn't a bad effort (runner-up has since delivered) and he should be able to build upon it. He has since finished fourth in a Roscommon bumper. Jockey Jack Foley has been in blistering form this month and he gets the leg up on Gaelic Des Chastys. This five-year-old gelding showed more when fourth in a Clonmel handicap hurdle at the end of last month. He has every chance on the back of that performance. Rathgearan switches to hurdles after four unplaced runs in bumpers. He got closer in each of those runs, though, and could go well for Danny Mullins.
