Race preview
WELL JOEY is not getting any younger but might have one more in him. His latest win came at this venue two years ago and he had Early Arrival back in fourth when runner-up over a bit further here last month. That was a good effort after three months off and he can defy a 2lb higher mark to register a fifth success over fences. Ricky Langford won well at Killarney last month and is now 6lb higher. He was placed twice over C&D last year, including in this race, and should go well with his yard in good form. The Great White lost a race in the stewards' room at Kilbeggan during the summer and has put in two solid placed efforts since. He has yet to win in this sphere but has only once been out of the first three in six starts over fences.
