14:15 Francis Harte Memorial Handicap (47-65)

Race preview

LONDON PALLADIUM is clearly on a mark he can be competitive off. He was always prominent on his first start for Sean Byrne in Leopardstown and he was always prominent in coming home third under 7lb claimer Jamie Powell. He was very heavily backed that day. The four-year-old gelding has been nudged up 1lb but Powell retains the ride. Crucially, he handles cut in the ground. Run The Jewels was a place, and half a length, in front of him in that aforementioned race. He has gone up 2lb for that effort but should be in the mix. One caveat is that he is unproven on ground the slow side of good. Rugaday ran well for second over C&D in August and has Gavin Ryan's assistance. Old boy Youceeyouceecee could show up well for a 10lb claimer. He is a former C&D winner.
