Race preview
LYNCHES KNOCK has an official rating of 120 and that doesn't look harsh at all. He won an academy hurdle at Leopardstown over Christmas and then ran a big race in an maiden hurdle at Naas last month. The winner Kai Lung looks smart and he had Saratoga three-parts of a length back in third. Gordon Elliott also saddles Mode Avion, who was running well until a mistake two out in Thurles. Like the selection, he gets a nice chunk of weight from his elders. Lumiere Du Large was highly tried last season, but has been a touch disappointing this term. She heads the weights and may be capable of better.
