Race preview
Easy Fella bolted up on his fencing bow at Tipperary and Henry de Bromhead's charge is an obvious candidate once again, but REVEREND HUBERT can come out on top. Once useful on the Flat, Charles Byrnes' gelding appeared to relish a switch to fences when winning comfortably at Limerick, and natural improvement ought to give him every chance of following up. Solitary Man and Saylavee, who receives 7lb from the aforementioned trio, are others to consider.
