Race preview
BOWMORE lacks a recent run but is suited by this distance and yielding ground. He ran well in a hot Leopardstown maiden last Christmas before winning at Wexford and while the lacks of a recent run isn't ideal, his Roscommon form is useful and being lightly-raced can progress. Clever Currency is dependable under all codes and while he doesn't appear ahead of the handicapper, should run his usual race. Abbeydale was well held on his latest run in March but is better judged on previous form and debuts in handicaps under a 5lb claimer. Whiskeywealth is rated 13lb lower in this sphere than over fences and finished third on his latest hurdles run in March. Theonewedreamof has won once from 12 hurdle runs and was well held on a recent run. Minx Tiara is rated 6lb higher over fences but was well held on her most recent hurdles outing while Rock On Seamie ran well at Gowran in September. Joey Sheridan has his first jumps ride on long-absent Zoffanien.
