Race preview
RUDY CATRAIL has been in fine form of late and looks the safest option in this low-grade affair. The likeable front-runner claimed this very race four years ago and registered a fifth track success when delivering on his penultimate start at Roscommon. He again bravely attempted to make all at Kilbeggan on Friday of last week and while ultimately failing to hold off Winnie Woodnutt, he was 35-lengths clear of the third. Tennessee Titan is given second preference, racing off his hurdles mark of 91. The locally trained seven-year-old has a point-to-point win to his name and should be able to make an impact in a contest of this quality. North Of Nashville has a similar profile and with Jordan Gainford a positive jockey booking, it'll be interesting to see how she fares. Top-weight Room To Roam, course winner Ocean Legacy and Roscommon third Courting Vickie are other leading hopes.
