Race preview
FANOIR is a few pounds wrong compared to official figures but has more scope for improvement than most and Charlie O'Dwyer is good value for his 7lb claim. She ran well in a bumper at last year's Galway Festival and made a pleasing reappearance behind the long odds-on Micro Manage in a Thurles maiden hurdle before scoring in good style over 2m4f at Clonmel. Kashi has gone close on a number of occasions including at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day and would probably appreciate some rain. Everlastingpromise has won three times in handicap chases but is very lightly raced since scoring in impressive fashion at Killarney nearly two years ago. He looks thrown in compared to a current chase mark of 139 but disappointed on his last two starts and hasn't shown anything like the same form over hurdles.
