Race preview
Softening ground is a concern for in-form MONBEG PARK but he might still win. Placed in the Leopardstown Chase in February before landing a Listed chase at that course earlier this month, the selection's best form is on a sound surface but did manage a bumper success on soft to heavy. He has done most of his racing over middle-distances but was Graded-placed over hurdles at this trip. Fun Fun Fun is suited by soft and she won nicely on her chase debut, before being well held at Exeter. Shannon Royale is noted too.
