Race preview
ORIONID made a promising debut over seven furlongs at Fairyhouse this autumn when keeping on nicely from off the pace into fourth behind Awhile. The combination of an extra quarter mile along with contrasting soft ground proved unsuitable on her only subsequent start at Tipperary, and she's given another chance to confirm the promise of that initial outing. Joseph O'Brien is also represented by Faron who has also had just the two runs and now drops back in trip. Zurkhana has a similar profile to the selection having made a bright start at Leopardstown before losing her action when disappointing on soft ground at the Curragh. Eloso has had plenty of chances and gone close on a number of occasions including at this venue.
