Race preview

MISS US O appeals off a mark of 80. She has been performing very creditably in recent times over hurdles, with runner-up berths banked in Kilbeggan and Roscommon in addition to a decisive victory at Kilbeggan in June. As a former point-to-point winner, there should be more to come from her in this discipline. Shane Fitzgerald takes 3lb off her back. Danny Mullins galvanised Chief Seattle to win over hurdles at Ballinrobe last month. He's back on board and this Casamento gelding could make an impact in this field. Swiss Brid has come in second in a couple of chases, including on her last appearance in Kilbeggan, however, she wouldn't welcome too much rain. Important Message has been placed in his last two handicap hurdles. His previous four efforts over fences haven't been inspiring, but he could do better now.
