15:15 M.W. Hickey Memorial Chase (Listed)

Race preview

RUN WILD FRED is entitled to come on plenty from his seasonal reappearance when second in a Grade 3 at Punchestown. He is well capable of dictating from the front, as he did in last year's Troytown at Navan. Irish National runner-up Frontal Assault returned with a staying-on success on soft ground at Galway in early October. He is far from advantaged by the weights in this contest, but is likely to give his backers a good run for their money. Aintree Grand National hero Noble Yeats sets the standard with a rating of 158. He makes this a very competitive race, but may be best watched after being pulled up in the early stages of a race in France on his return to action.
