Race preview
The major stables are represented by interesting types, but MOONVERRIN ran a lovely race in second on debut at Fairyhouse and could go one better. She was caught in the closing stages by a rival that surged home and did very little wrong. Henry de Bromhead's newcomer Mary O'g is a half-sister to top-class chaser Gerri Colombe, so has to be monitored in the market. Willie Mullins takes the wraps off Workforce mare Owning Flower, who landed a point-to-point last March. That contest is working out well and she is a big player. Poetic Twist starts out for the very in-form Gordon Elliott and she ought to be in the midst of the action.
