Race preview
Kilbrainy wasn't beaten far at Musselburgh last time and holds obvious claims dropped in both trip and class, but a chance is taken on handicap debutant FIA FUINIDH. He has improved in each of his three hurdle starts to date and an opening mark of 102 looks fair. Hashtag Lord is another handicap newcomer to note, while Agilulf and Irish raider Kinnegad Lad add further spice to the race.
