Race preview
DUNBOYNE was a decisive winner of a valuable handicap chase over a similar trip at Gowran Park last month and looks ready for a crack at this company. He came in by 10 lengths, which earned him a 10lb hike from the handicapper, but he could be a factor for Gordon Elliott in good handicap chases. Hallowed Star didn't jump fluently in a Grade 2 novice chase at Punchestown and paid the price when he fell four out. He has a sizeable engine and if he puts it all together, would take plenty of beating on handicap debut. Spyglass Hill has been in with more than decent horses and should have a say in this Grade B handicap chase. Dunboyne's stablemate Indigo Breeze is another handicap debutant who could get involved after placed efforts at Gowran Park and Cheltenham. Railway Hurricane is not the strongest finisher, but he has ability and a 7lb claimer on board has him on a lovely light weight. Take All is far from out of it.
