Race preview
A winner over course and distance last month, the Shane Broderick-trained A WAVE OF THE SEA can follow up. Despite being raised 8lb by the handicapper, the Born To Sea gelding remains nicely treated and ought to go close. Having failed to see out three-miles in recent starts, Slane Hill looks a real contender now dropped in trip. From a chase mark which is 6lb below his current hurdles rating, the Barry Connell-trained gelding catches the eye. Foxy Girl is another worthy of consideration on her handicap debut.
