Race preview
BARNACULLIA, who was second over fences at Galway last week, is well handicapped on the level. The six-year-old caught the eye in three quick maiden runs in recent weeks, before staying on nicely when fifth on his handicap debut. The Michael Mulvany-trained gelding has been found a nice opportunity to open his account on the flat. No Thanks returned to winning ways when making most of the running over hurdles at Ballinrobe on Monday. Although rated almost a stone below Barnacullia under National Hunt rules, the Matthew Smith-trained gelding is arguably a stronger traveller in his races, so will be better suited to this small field. Abraham, who shaped well when fourth over course and distance last time, has the assistance of Elliot Ohgren, one of the better riders in this race.
