Race preview

JOSHUA CHAMBERLAIN showed promise in bumpers and ran his best race over hurdles when placed at Downpatrick last month. This longer trip is a slight concern but he's bred to stay and this isn't the stiffest of tracks. Our Bobby is still 9lb higher than when gaining his only hurdles win at Wexford last summer. He has been placed several times since, including over this trip, and performed well when fitted with a first-time hood at Punchestown in May. Top Line Tommy won a 2m5f beginners' chase at Tramore last month and found 2m too sharp when runner-up in a handicap at Clonmel. He has plenty of placed form in this discipline and is rated 10lb lower over hurdles compared to his chase rating.
