Race preview

JENNY FLEX is interesting here on her handicap debut. The well-bred daughter of Walk In The Park shaped with promise in maiden hurdles over the winter and looks on an attractive mark now. Danny Gilligan takes a valuable 7lb off her back to leave the half-sister to Scarlet And Dove on a nice racing weight. Mighty Jeremy heads the weights after two recent wins and is probably the one to beat. Connections changed tactics completely last time at Tramore when he made all and if he does something similar here around another undulating track he could be hard to peg back. King Ferdinand just failed by a head to peg back Elsannah at Cork last time and the Milan gelding is another that has to be considered.
