Race preview
All of these have time to do better, but it looks best to stick with course bumper scorer BLUE SKIES AHEAD. The six-year-old is related to a host of winners, notably One For The Team, and she appears to have a bright future herself following that comprehensive success. Terrano hit the frame in an Irish point-to-point when last seen, which could represent a decent level of form seeing as the runner-up finished fifth in the Grade 1 bumper at Punchestown on Wednesday. Earnest Belief is also noted.
