Race preview
Gavin Cromwell's LAW ELLA relishes plenty of cut in the ground and is of definite interest on her chasing debut. This Yeats mare has landed a bumper and a maiden hurdle in addition to finishing runner-up in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree. This looks a good trip for her. Cromwell also saddles Soldaro who has two victories over flights in her locker. She ought to have a future over the bigger obstacles as a half-sister to a prolific winner at up to and including Grade 3 level over fences. Henning won three times over hurdles and will enjoy these testing conditions. She is another making her chasing bow and has to enter calculations. Presenting Doyen was a respectable second on her first crack at fences in Ballinrobe last month. The forecast rain is not in her favour, though.
