Race preview

Crossing Lines is interesting on his debut for David Pipe as he was a useful sort between the flags when last seen over two years ago, but DOM OF MARY gets the tentative vote with recent race-fitness on his side. A winner of a bumper over 2m3f at Fairyhouse last year, this may be the minimum trip over obstacles for David Bridgwater's gelding, but he ran well for a long way on his stable debut at Newbury last month. Mahon Point ran a creditable race in a bumper here recently, while any support for the Dai Walters-owned newcomer Helios De Grugy is worth noting.
