14:52 Tote Fantasy Handicap Hurdle

Race preview

Three miles on heavy ground seemed to stretch the stamina of BACKINTHEROOM when fourth at Limerick over Christmas. A maiden winner here last term, the Shantou gelding travelled strongly to get into contention before the straight last time and dropping back in trip should suit him. Slane Hill was a creditable third to a pair of in-form mares over C&D on Thyestes Day last month. He still looked green on that handicap debut and is sure to be towards the head of the market from a 2lb higher mark. Legacy Thor has been running back into form this season after being out of action for almost two years. He wasn't beaten far when sixth in a stronger contest at Navan and a reproduction of that would see him involved. Flying Scotsman, who kept on well when second at Fairyhouse, represents a yard with a good recent record in this race and is partnered by an in-form claimer.
