Race preview
A chance is taken on VINTAGE GOLD, who gained his only success here off 1lb lower. John Murphy, who loves to target this meeting, acquires the services of in-form conditional Eoin Staples for the mount. Blinkers are also put back on and this son of Highland Reel can have a big say if reproducing some of his best form. Give Him A Chance would have to come into the reckoning after his comfortable success in Kilbeggan, although he must contend with a 10lb rise. Corkbeg took a step back in the right direction when fourth at Clonmel and sneaks in at the bottom of the weights 4lb below his last winning mark. Doctor Confusion is of interest on his handicap bow and with a tongue-tie added, while General Clermont looks to expose a lenient hurdles figure.
