Race preview
CEANNDANA, successful over hurdles here in July, can get off the mark on just his second start over fences. The Ross O'Sullivan-trained gelding was a very easy winner at Downpatrick prior to his course triumph and connections wasted little time in switching their attention to chasing back at the Ulster track on his next run. Jumping well and staying on well to finish third over a trip short of his best, the six-year-old has plenty to recommend him now. Point-to-point winner Read To Return makes a quick reappearance having just lost out over hurdles at Roscommon during the week. He has plenty of chasing experience so has to rate a danger. Battle Away, a stablemate of Ceanndana, goes chasing late in life but has a point-to-point success to her name.
