Race preview
A winner between the flags, DOUGLAS HYDE made a promising debut under Rules when finding only one too good at Bangor. Another good account seems assured and the five-year-old is marginally preferred to Wandering Ego. The latter acquitted himself well when third at Newbury on his first outing for Olly Murphy's in-form yard, while Cobbler's Boy is one to note for Dan Skelton having finished second in a point-to-point in Ireland last year.
