19:25 Bulmers Zero (Q.R.) Handicap Chase (0-109)

Race preview

FRANCOIS is a capable hurdler and competes from a favourable chase rating, with his rider claiming 7lb. He initially raced on the Flat in France, was rated 126 over hurdles last year and while well held in his most recent handicap chase at Cork, that was at a much higher level and recently returned to form over hurdles. Room To Roam ran well when last seen in February and being suited by good ground, should compete under his same 7lb claimer. Clody Valley was well held on his two most recent runs but makes his seasonal debut and is an able type at this level on summer ground. Lesssaidthebetter is 7lb out of the handicap under a 7lb claimer and was well held in the uncompetitive Bishopscourt Cup in April.
