Race preview
SKIPPIN COURT showed an aptitude for 2m4f in Listowel and has prospects of following up. That was a higher grade of race and he was driven out to score by a length and three quarters. He will enjoy this better ground. My Immortal is definitely going the right way. He has won two of his last three hurdle races and was runner-up in the other one in Listowel behind Hewick who has gone on to win this year's Galway Plate over fences. My Immortal hasn't been seen since February, but has won off an absence before and appears to be ground versatile. Ebasari is up in trip but is far from out of it. He was placed in a valuable handicap hurdle at the Galway Festival. It was a weak contest that King Kal won at Downpatrick, but he did it very well.
