Race preview

CURIOUS BRIDE is holding her form well and has a shot at turning the tables on Elzaamsan. The latter was very good off the front under Josh Halford in a qualified riders' handicap at Leopardstown last month. Curious Bride kept on for third but, as Elzaamsan may not get an uncontested lead this time, she could be a big player as she is proven over further and has enjoyed quick ground before. There could be plenty of pace on in this race which may suit Miss Aytan. On her last run on the Flat, she was held up and kept on for fourth at Tramore. Molly Hall made virtually all over 1m6f at Navan and is another to take seriously under a 7lb penalty.
