Race preview
A weak maiden in which Gordon Elliott holds a strong hand. Jack Kennedy rides ONE TO WITNESS, a Sholokhov half-brother to useful jumper Idas Boy who wasn't beaten that far in a Naas bumper that has had a recent form boost. He may be able to make a winning debut over hurdles. Danny Gilligan is on Dooks, a 52,000-euro store who is a brother to smart jumper Amarillo Sky, and he may prove more of a threat than the third Elliott runner Celtic Alliance, a half-sister to a pair of hurdle winners. Blossom Trixie has the benefit of hurdling experience, while Mastertown Miss makes some appeal on pedigree and represents a shrewd yard.
