Race preview
ATACANTER caught the eye when staying on into a moderate fifth in the 23-runner 2m3f Naas maiden hurdle won by Spillane's Tower and is very interesting here in his first handicap. The Ross O'Sullivan-trained gelding is bred to appreciate a test of stamina and starts off on a reasonable mark. Irish National winner Lord Lariat reverts to hurdles for the first time in over a year and, while significantly better over fences, is certainly on an attractive mark. Stablemate Wa Wa finished well to score over 2m6f at Navan last month and is still fairly treated compared to his chase rating. Pure Sirloin got up close home over 2m4f at Navan and could progress further over this trip.
