Race preview

NOBLE BLUE may have disappointed when a well-fancied favourite at Tramore in November, but he is better judged on his previous second at Gowran Park behind a subsequent Grade 2 winner. That form looks the strongest on offer and he can get off the mark at the main expense of recent surprise Limerick hurdles scorer Aghmorough Bridge and Nephin Beg, whose only career triumph came over timber here in December 2022. Iron Allen and Knocknagappagh are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
