Race preview

DROMANTINE won a nursery over C&D just before Christmas last year and has been given a chance by the handicapper. The Conyngham Lodge-trained filly has shaped quite well since returning here this autumn and was only beaten about a length when fifth last time over a mile. Chica Power is well suited by this trip, having won three times over C&D, and again ran well in a claimer last Wednesday, while Leopardstown maiden winner River Derwent took advantage of a major drop in the ratings this year when beating James Henry here last month. The Bog Bank is a model of consistency at this venue and while she's done all her winning over a mile, looks sure to again give a good account.
