Race preview

MULLINS CROSS may be worth a shot back at Sligo despite a moderate enough run last time on a trip to Perth. She weakened tamely enough over in Scotland but had been a convincing winner over course and distance in August and judged on that she doesn't look harshly treated here off a 6lb higher mark. Kate Ill Know ran well to finish third at Galway earlier in the month and off the same mark she has to come into the reckoning here in a moderate enough looking contest. Hophornbeam was well beaten when tried over fences at Fairyhouse last time but has plenty of solid form over timber and it wouldn't be a surprise to see her figure in this off her current mark.
