Race preview

FLAME BEARER was a smart novice hurdler for Pat Doyle last season and looks the type to do well over fences with a move to the champion trainer hardly a negative. The Fame And Glory gelding completed a hat-trick including Grade 2 wins at both Naas and Fairyhouse before filling the runner-up spot behind State Man in a Grade 1 at the Punchestown Festival. Colonel Mustard and Hollow Games were also placed at the top level over hurdles last season and should do well over fences this term. The former was also third behind State Man in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham, while Carrig Sam is a point-to-point winner and also did well over hurdles earlier this year.
