FormscanBy John O'Riordan - While almost certainly a better chaser, FREDDIE ROBDAL is hard to get away from here. A three-time winner over fences, the Henry De Bromhead-trained gelding was successful at this venue on his penultimate start. Rated 16lb lower back over hurdles, the eight-year-old has to be respected. Despite having a somewhat mixed career over flights, the son of Valirann did manage to reach the frame on three occasions and, on a track where he is already a winner, it might be worth giving him another chance. Bestaline had rather lost her way under Rules before being reignited in point-to-points. It will be interesting to see if she can transfer that back to the track. Minority Interest is another to consider.
