Race preview

This is an intriguing bumper with a lot of trainers who do well in this sphere represented by newcomers. Liz Doyle is one who falls into that category and Jody Townend looks a good booking for IRISH ENVOY. The son of Well Chosen cost 42,000Euros at three and is from the family of smart hurdler The Illiad. Katie Tay also represents a shrewd yard and the daughter of Presenting cost 35,000Euros at three while the Flemensfirth mare Sweet Magic, whose dam is a half-sister to smart chaser Last Instalment, is another to note. Ideal De Ciergues may be the pick of Gordon Elliott's pair while Camino Rock, a promising third in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle, has the strongest claims of those with experience.
