Race preview
RIOGA CHOICE is worth another chance here, despite having disappointed on her reappearance at Bellewstown. The daughter of Flemensfirth had previously been placed in two relatively decent maidens and may just have needed the run at the County Meath venue. Slightly easier ground should also be more favourable to the De Bromhead trained mare. High City Roller won his bumper at Limerick in May but also ran below par last time. With just the three runs under his belt, he remains unexposed and open to improvement. Come On Du Berlais has yet to run in this country despite being trained by Gordon Elliott. She has won once and been second twice from just three bumper starts in Britain. Morning Logic is another to consider, having finished fourth at Punchestown when last seen on the racecourse.
