18:10 McMahons Builders Providers Beginners Chase

Race preview

FAKIERA disappointed on chase debut when last seen but is a Grade 3 winner who finished fourth at Grade 1 level over hurdles. His jumping was to the left and novicey on fences debut but returns from a break with his novice status seemingly preserved for the new season, and might have the ability to win on reappearance. Western Run is race-fit and in form with a chase rating of 128 but is winless in eight starts in this sphere while Il Courra is rated 125 and ran well in a handicap chase here in March and has place claims. Calagogo was useful over hurdles and while ideally suited to summer ground, would prefer further and might struggle to win. Cornerkova was consistently useful last year but has enough on her plate on chase debut. Ferdia needs to improve but has some place claims while Given Wings makes his seasonal reappearance and faces a tough task on chase debut.
