17:50 Randox Handicap Hurdle (80-102)

Race preview

SON OF MAHLER ran well for a long way until fading into sixth here in March on his first start since last summer. He ran well over 3m at Clonmel for his previous yard and can go well on his second start for Mark McNiff who has a healthy strike-rate at this track. Lake Chad was a winner over 2m at Limerick during a good spell of form in late autumn and was touched off over fences at Tramore last time. He proved his stamina for this trip on that occasion. Collaborating is useful on the Flat and was narrowly beaten on the all-weather in January. He's interesting off a lowly mark on handicap debut but Marshalled, twice a winner over fences last year, hasn't run over hurdles for over two years and might come on from the run.
