14:00 Adare Manor Opportunity Handicap Hurdle (80-95)

Race preview

BROSNA ROCCO won on handicap debut over 2m at Tramore last term and went on to make the frame a couple of times over 2m5f. The daughter of Shirocco made an encouraging seasonal reappearance when third at Limerick and looks primed for a big run. Crack On Corrie won this a year ago and gained her third career victory when scoring comfortably at Fairyhouse last month. She's clearly one for the shortlist, although the less-exposed Lovely Moon caught the eye when fifth to Willie Austin's charge on the latter occasion and is open to improvement in just his third start in handicaps. Eagle Roque is a long-standing maiden, but made a good start for his new trainer when third to a couple of in-form rivals at Limerick.
