Race preview
MARMELADOVA won her maiden here last month and may be able to strike again. The Inns Of Court mare has since run with credit in a good conditions event at Gowran, despite finishing last of four, and her rating of 75 doesn't look harsh at all. Daler comes here in winning form and has to be respected after such an impressive Leopardstown victory. Merlin The Wizard was third at this venue last month and won a Limerick optional claimer last time out. He's another for the shortlist.
