Race preview
It's no surprise to see connections try FRAZEL EXPRESS over this trip given the way she finished on her last visit to the track. The Yeats filly ran on to grab second over two-and-a-half at the venue 13 days ago. She hasn't tried three miles before but it looks worth a shot on the evidence of her latest effort. Hascoeur Clermont reverts to hurdling having unseated on his chase debut at Tipperary last month. He had been a good winner over timber at Bellewstown prior to that, when tackling three miles for the first time on the racecourse. Memorable Daise needs to step up on recent efforts but it's dangerous to dismiss Willie Mullins-trained runners in this grade.
