Race preview
First reserve Knocknagappagh would be a big contender if getting a run on her fencing debut having chased home a subsequent winner at Clonmel but, without her, the lightly-weighted KAREN'S GIFT might win. A point-to-point and dual hurdle winner, she was beaten a long distance on her chasing bow at Clonmel, but was unsuited by extremely testing conditions then and had previously shown useful hurdles form on easy ground. Kingston Kid has been well held in five previous chase runs but is a useful handicap hurdler and is suited by conditions under his 5lb claimer. The Abbey is a race-fit three-time winner but would prefer a sounder surface, while Hardwired has some useful bits of form but is a 20-race maiden. Oryx Hustler is a previous course winner but has a long absence to defy and runs in a first-time tongue-tie.
