Hurdle/Bumper: Yielding to Soft. Chase: Yielding View all races

Formscan By Tom Weekes - Softening ground is a concern for in-form MONBEG PARK but he might still win. Placed in the Leopardstown Chase in February before landing a Listed chase at that course earlier this month, the selection’s best form is on a sound surface but did manage a bumper success on soft-to-heavy. He has done most of his racing over middle-distances but was graded-placed over hurdles at this trip. Fun Fun Fun is suited by soft and she won nicely on her chase debut, was well held at Exeter last time. Shannon Royale suffered an over-reach at Navan last time while lightly-raced Harry Des Ongrais steps up following a recent beginners chase win.
