Race preview
A five-time winner on the Flat, SEQUOIASPIRIT can register a first success over hurdles. The Ray Hackett-trained seven-year-old has gone close on a couple of occasions over jumps, including when runner-up at Cork last time. The gelding showed that he handled this track when a staying-on fifth in a stronger race at the festival meeting last September. Twice a winner at the start of last season, Ceroc once again showed that this was his time of year when stepping up on his reappearance effort to finish second at Killarney last month. Edward O'Grady's gelding shouldn't be far away. Anyway, who continues to defy the handicapper, could have further races in him this term.
