Race preview
Gigginstown haven't enjoyed any luck with their very recent maiden hurdlers but PRENDS GARDE A TOI might rectify than, in a weak race. Point-to-point-placed before selling for E155,000, he chased home a subsequent triple bumper winner in November and again ran well in a St Stephen's Day bumper, when last seen. He should improve from today's run but nonetheless won't need to be at his best to win. English runner My Friend Yeats ran well at Cartmel in July, when conceding 7lb to the currently 110-rated winner but disappointed at Sedgefield 10 days ago. Well-bred Marie's March represents Willie Mullins but showed previous little at Kilbeggan while Augusta George won an ordinary August course bumper but disappointed recently.
