Race preview
SIXANDAHALF's third in the Irish Cesarewitch at this track last season is a notable piece of form. It is hard to fault her subsequent hurdling efforts that included a runner-up berth in the Grade 2 mares' novices' hurdle at Cheltenham. Mr Percy looks threatening off bottom weight. He was last seen landing a Grade 2 novice hurdle at Fairyhouse a couple of months ago, and won his maiden by seven lengths over this trip at Gowran Park last year. Smooth Tom got back to winning ways over flights in Cork and has a good record at this track. The veteran Falcon Eight availed of a canny ride to deliver in Gowran Park and is another with plenty of course form.
