Race preview

SPECIAL PROTECTOR ran well from a bad draw at Navan last time and may be able to give in-form trainer Tim Doyle another winner here. She made up a nice bit of ground from the rear down the straight last time to finish fifth to Patrick Street and having been eased a pound since that run she looks capable of landing a race of this standard. Rough And Tough was a couple of places behind the selection last time and also has to come into consideration here with Wesley Joyce taking 7lb off now. Wee Winnie ran well on her second start back from a long absence when third at Down Royal three weeks ago and, with Jack Kearney taking 7lb off her back now, she looks nicely treated.
