Race preview
BAROMETER has an each-way chance at this trip. The last time he raced over an extended 2m on the Flat, he was a comfortable winner in Tramore and that was on better ground. Rich Belief kept on well for Seamie Heffernan to score over 1m5f in Navan. The duo are reunited here and another big run looks on the cards. Grappa Nonino is up in trip in this sphere, but has performed well in recent hurdle races including when he won at Navan in March. The Jam Man has switched stables and is more than capable of showing up well. It is worth noting that he has 11 victories across all codes. Swelltime fell when disputing the lead at the penultimate obstacle in a handicap hurdle at Limerick in March. He has plenty of form on the Flat to advertise his chance, though.
