Swan To Run Three In Thyestes Charlie Swan is set to launch a three-pronged attack on Thursday´s Goulding Thyestes Chase at Gowran Park with Lincam, Over The First and This Is Serious set to represent the Cloughjordan trainer.This Is Serious is a previous winner of the prestigious three mile event but he returns here from a long lay-off and faces a stiff task. Charlie Swan said: This Is Serious will definitely need the run, but he is in great form and he does go well fresh. He handles the ground and obviously loves Gowran.'Swan´s other two runners both have recent form which gives them every chance. Lincam was an impressive winner in novice company last time out and Over The First ran a blinder until falling at Tramore. Swan summed up their respective chances saying: 'Lincam must have every chance off a nice weight. He was impressive the last day and seems to be improving. Over The First took on Cloudy Bays up front the last day and paid the price. He loves testing ground and there are no doubts about the trip.'Opposition to the Swan trio is led by a host of competitors from the recent Paddy Power Chase and the Pierse Leopardstown Chase. Punters who wish to assess their chances are advised to get to the track early for the Morning Line programme sponsored by Hackett´s Bookmakers.This will feature all the latest betting news, form analysis and video footage of the leading contenders for all races on the day. It kicks off at about 12 noon and should be an informative guide for the day´s racing.The chief support race on the card is the Alo Duffin Memorial Hurdle where the Tom Taaffe-trained Emotional Moment bids to follow up his recent Leopardstown success. Trainer Taaffe reports him to be in god shape and commented: 'He is in great form and worked well at the weekend. He goes there with every chance, although some of the others did not run up to form the last day. All he could do was win.'The Elaine Curtis fashion competition and the Tully´s Travel Cheltenham Gold Cup competition will provide opportunities to enhance the day´s entertainment and advance booking with generous discounts for groups are available from 056 - 7726225. The going is currently heavy, with some showers forecast over the next couple of days. 1st race at 1.15pm.
