Race preview
A few of these will fancy their chances including Young Jack, who had GAILLIMH A STOR (third) in behind when on target over C&D three weeks ago. The latter was returning from a lengthy absence, though, and, if coming on for that performance, he could reverse the form on revised terms. Ballytechno struggled in a Grade 2 at Sandown recently but he is of interest back in a handicap, as is Nab Wood, who looks to complete a C&D hat-trick having notched up a brace of successes at the start of the year.
