Race preview
GINNETS GIRL has to have a shout dropped into this company. She was mid-division in Galway and fifth at Kilbeggan in much higher grades. She has a good record in Sligo, with a bumper victory and a runner-up finish in a maiden hurdle here. Safran Et Bleu is holding his form well, with two victories in his last four races, although that form is all on decent ground so he does come with risks on this slower surface. Broken Ice is more accustomed to chasing in recent years, but his form in that discipline gives him a chance if he puts his best foot forward over the smaller obstacles.
