Going - Good to Yielding (good in places on hurdle track and yielding in places on chase). Overcast
View all races Result Odds Compare

Formscan By John O'Riordan - This looks a good opportunity for the Mark Fahey-trained MELLEM to record a first career win. A son of French Navy, the six-year-old had run well in stronger company earlier in the year. A reproduction of his Leopardstown third in March or, second placed finish at Cork on his penultimate start would almost certainly suffice. Jockey Thomas O'Connor, who claims a valuable 7lb, was amongst the winners at Listowel last week. Live To Laugh, who stepped up on previous efforts when fourth at Down Royal recently, is a lightly raced gelding who could be capable of further improvement. Hitthehayson needs to show more than he has to date but the switch to Ian Donoghue has to be respected.
