Race preview

MARVEL FAN won over fences in France but hadn't shown much for current connections until causing a 40/1 shock by beating Cullaghs Star over this trip at Gowran Park last month. Maxine O'Sullivan now claims a valuable 5lb and she can confirm places off her revised mark. Lucky Tenner came up against a useful sort when runner-up to Dysart Dynamo in a Cork maiden last time, while Mind Your Money is another to consider having beaten all bar the front-running Mighty Tom at Thurles last Sunday. Aragon caught the eye in a Navan maiden last spring and, having been badly hampered when reappearing at Down Royal, is one to note on handicap debut. Mare Quimby and Trebizond both appear to be on competitive marks.
