There is a total of €145,000 in prizemoney up for grabs at this meeting which caters for horses with a handicap rating of up to 120 and a variety of distances from two miles up to three. Some of the early morning market moves include Serienmond (6/1 to 5/2) in the opening 2m handicap hurdle, Killaney King (9/1 into 7/2) in the 2m4f handicap hurdle at 12.50 and Whateys Quest has attracted support from 11/2 into 3/1 for the 2m4f handicap chase at 2.25.
