Race preview
BREAD AND BUTTER can gain reward for a series of consistent performances in competitive handicaps around this trip. The seven-year-old has edged up a few pounds for those efforts but still remains on a reasonable mark. He was just denied by Futurum Regem at Navan and again came home strongly up the hill at the same venue last time when third to The Very Man in another Grade B event. Minx Tiara has a similar recent profile, with a number of solid efforts including her fourth in a valuable mares' handicap won by Party Central at Leopardstown, while Homme D'un Soir is just 1lb higher despite running well when third to Carrig Sam at Fairyhouse. Palace Rock beat Take All over two miles here a fortnight ago but may be getting into the handicapper's grip, with a combined 12lb rise for his last two runs. Macs Charm followed up a Navan win with an impressive victory at Gowran Park but has gone up 21lb as a result.
