Race preview
GAELIC DES CHASTYS has won twice since joining Eric McNamara last year, including on his penultimate start over fences at Listowel. He again shaped well over C&D last time when beating all bar Rhythmic Tune and remains on a competitive mark. Maciver handled heavy ground well when completing a four-timer earlier this year, including a hurdle and chase win at this venue. It will be interesting to see how strong he is in the market following an eight-month break, while Perfectway and Johnny Cakes are others to consider. The latter should benefit from his reappearance at Galway last month.
