Race preview
SLANE HILL is a chasing type and may be able to make a winning start over the larger obstacles. The Shantou gelding won over timber at Naas in December and Barry Connell said then that he wouldn't stay over hurdles too long. This looks a nice starting point over fences. Bodhisattva was one of the higher rated of these over hurdles and has to be respected now switching to fences. The Leading Light gelding won a decent maiden hurdle at Navan last year and has run some solid races in handicaps since. Clondaw Hollow didn't make much impression when third behind a couple of smart sorts in Bronn and Grandero Bello on his chase debut at Fairyhouse. He could get closer now in this company.
