Race preview

Better can be expected from Trick Of The Tail on the likely better ground here and Donald McCain's inmate shouldn't be far away. Western Soldier had some smart form on the Flat in Germany and also merits consideration on his hurdling debut. However, preference is for JOHNNY M, who looked booked for a solid third-placed finish in a competitive event at Kilbeggan in July but for falling at the final obstacle.
