Race preview
HI HO IDAHO won here in May and it is hoped he will cope with dropping in distance on handicap debut. Placed in two point-to-points last autumn, he has shown nice ability over hurdles and defeated subsequent winner Livio into third, with Eye Contact chasing home Willie Mullins' gelding at Cork recently. Stablemate Fiveonefive scored at the Galway Festival but is 8lb higher and has top weight, while the hat-trick seeking Gino Bella has the same rise in the handicap to overcome after her Cork success.
