Race preview
GLENQUIN CASTLE has a tendency to do just enough and as a result has kept on the right side of the handicapper. The Martin Brassil-trained gelding won three times over fences and reverted to hurdles to complete a four-timer over this trip at Tipperary earlier this month. The seven-year-old looked set for a cosy win jumping the last but just held on after finding little in front and may still have enough up his sleeve to defy a 7lb hike in the ratings. Stolen Moment kept on nicely in the straight behind the selection and should again go well, while Courting Vickie and Moyode Lady are others to consider. Roped In didn't show much on her first two starts but there was definite promise last time in a Cork maiden hurdle and the full-sister to recent Munster National winner Ontheropes is one to note on her handicap debut.
