Race preview
Despite an obvious concern with her wide draw, the Johnny Murtagh-trained WAR SAINT is taken to gain a first career success. An eye-catcher when staying on late to finish fifth at Down Royal on her handicap debut, the daughter of St Mark's Basilica was unlucky in running before reaching the frame at Naas last time. Down The Glen ran a big race on handicap debut at Killarney in August, before disappointing on his next start. A reproduction of that earlier effort would see the Ross O'Sullivan-trained grey hold strong claims. Runner-up in the aforementioned Naas race, the Matthew Smith-trained Ella's Gold has every chance of reversing that form with the winner Synners Kid.
