17:05 Unio Employee Benefits Handicap

Race preview

HALF NUTZ is a speculative suggestion in a race where the Ado McGuinness-trained six-year-old will require a lot of luck. For a horse who tends to miss the break, an inside draw is not ideal given that he may well be crowded and lose his position early on. However, the Sir Prancealot gelding is undeniably well handicapped at present, having shown a welcome return to form when a staying on fourth at Galway last time. If getting the gaps where it matters, he can win for the seventh time. Course and distance winner Chestnutter is on a hat-trick here but as a front runner, Noel Meade's filly won't find it easy from a wide stall. Toriangel seldom runs a bad race at this track so the daughter of Dark Angel has to be amongst the leading contenders once again.
