Race preview
TAKE ME TO CHURCH appears to be progressing and showed improved form when fitted with cheek pieces over this trip at Naas last time. The Jack Davison-trained colt beat all bar Goal Exceeded on soft ground and hopefully will handle this surface. Any market move for the Ger Lyons-trained newcomer Go Go Gonzo would be significant in what appears a modest maiden, while Fickou attracted some support in the morning prior to his debut at Navan and indicated ability when keeping on into fifth behind Vassula Tyden. Dramatic Entrance ran well on her first handicap start when runner-up to Glamorously at Navan and probably found the ground too testing when subsequently disappointing behind the same rival in the Birdcatcher at Naas.
