Race preview
Seven of these met at Killarney last month, with AGHABOY faring best when beaten just a neck into second. On what was his first start over flights, the chestnut gelding was strong in the market and jumped well in the main. He is entitled to come on plenty for that effort and should prove hard to beat here with Kieran Callaghan taking a valuable 7lb off. Chargo finished just two and a half lengths behind the selection at Killarney and she looks the main danger. Settled in mid-division, the Highland Reel filly kept on well to take third at the Co Kerry venue and may benefit from a more forward ride now. Bright Blue was a fine fourth at Killarney and is sure to have plenty of supporters, while hurdling debutant Bridgehead is another that warrants respect.
