Race preview
BRANDY HARBOUR may be able to make use of a lower mark over timber here. The eight-year-old was a wide margin winner off a 4lb higher mark over fences at Naas last month and was just collared late on when attempting to follow up after a 12lb hike at Limerick. Front-running tactics seem to suit him well and he could make another bold bid here. Autumn Crusade was just edged out in a tight finish at Down Royal last time and off just a 2lb higher mark now he has to be a leading contender. Global Mayhem also ran well last time when chasing home Secret Sea at Limerick in November and has to be considered off just a pound higher mark.
