Race preview
The Nicky Henderson-trained RATHMACKNEE shaped with plenty of promise on his UK debut when third, beaten under two lengths. The former point winner was a tad keen at Wetherby last month and, if settling better for James Bowen, he could take all of the beating. Saligo Bay was runner-up at Plumpton on his last start and, if his jumping holds up, he is another expected to go well. Haas Boy has his first try over timer after three respectable runs in bumpers.
