Going - Good to Yielding. Fine
View all races Result Odds Compare

Formscan By Gary Carson - Dual course and distance winner INCHIQUIN STAR may be worth a shot in this. The Mount Nelson mare won on this card last year when taking the preceding mares event. She has been in winning form on the Flat this season and looks on a competitive mark now back over timber. Bowensonfire takes a drop in class after lining up in the Galway Hurdle last week. Unfortunately he unseated at the first then after getting hampered but had been in fine form previously and commands respect. Red Glory made a winning return at Tipperary last month and is another that has to be considered.
