Race preview
Already twice successful over the course and distance this season, both COPIE CONFORME and The Bog Bank are sure to prove popular with punters. The Kevin Prendergast-trained former is marginally preferred. A consistent sort, she'll be ridden by the experienced Jack Cleary, who is enjoying his best campaign to date. From the nearby village of Kentstown, Alyse Clarke has been aboard The Bog Bank for his two most recent successes. The young apprentice again takes the ride and claims a valuable 4lb. Polar Bear and Rhythm King are other course winners in the line-up, with the former upped in trip after a disappointing effort at Laytown. The progressive Proleek Prince made the breakthrough at Punchestown recently and is another obvious contender.
