Race preview
NAOMH MOLING was a revelation in Tramore after a palate operation. John Clifford's charge ran away with the race by 10 lengths. The form was strengthened when the runner-up came out and won a maiden hurdle in Ballinrobe by a healthy margin. Uncle Gerhard posted a decent effort in third at Fairyhouse after suffering a less than clear route. That was in a higher grade, so he is entitled to plenty of respect. Handicap debutant Heathrow is of interest. He is a half-brother to multiple winner Darasso who landed a Grade 2 hurdle last month. Irregularheartbeat is better over hurdles than fences and reverts back to the smaller obstacles. She won a mares' handicap hurdle by a neck in Fairyhouse last month.
