Race preview
A nursery winner at Sligo last year, HOT SUNSET ran her best race since then when second over this trip at Gowran Park last month. She didn't back that up at Bellewstown on her most recent outing but returning to a right-handed track will suit her. Clarinbridge was ahead of the selection when runner-up to The Pargey Bee at Bellewstown and that was a career best for her. She was prominent form the outset over 1m and coming back in trip should be fine. Three Macks has run solid races in her last two handicaps and would have to be on the shortlist if she turns out again after running at Fairyhouse on Wednesday, while Flame Of Eire may be able to build on her handicap debut sixth at Tipperary.
