Race preview
GRAPPA NONINO got a bit too far back when a staying on sixth in a competitive handicap over in York just over two weeks ago and may be able to strike again here in shallower waters. The Teofilo gelding had won at the Curragh previously and looks capable of going in again off this 6lb higher mark. Extensio was good on his hurdling debut at Roscommon last time and with that confidence boosting success under his belt he could run well back on the level again here. The six-year-old had been runner-up on his previous two Flat starts and is a consistent sort. Marvelosa is another who has been holding her form well and also has to be on the shortlist.
