Race preview
Iggy Madden has saddled a couple of winners at his local track in recent months and can strike here with DREAM SHAPER. The Morpheus gelding showed plenty of promise when coming from off the pace to finish fifth in a big-field contest over 2m1f here last month and, over this longer trip, can turn around form with the winner Wee Charlie. The latter, up 8lb for that victory on his first start for Ger O'Leary, stays further than this trip and is greatly respected. Jinxs Link was a winner on quick ground at Down Royal and is 5lb higher, while Depalma shaped well in maidens earlier in the year and looks the pick of Colm Murphy's pair of handicap debutants.
