Race preview
Following a promising effort at Tipperary last time, the David Fitzgerald-trained EMILY IN PARIS can step up a place. Keeping on nicely from off the pace, the mare pressed the winner approaching the second last, before those efforts took their toll close home. Successful at this track in the past, the daughter of Champs Elysees holds leading claims under Gavin Brouder. Fortune The Brave must also enter calculations in first-time blinkers. A former bumper winner, the John McConnell-trained gelding showed his best form in a long while when second at Hexham last month. Spellacy's Cross is another with his chance, having stayed on strongly when runner-up at Roscommon earlier this week.
