Going - Soft to Heavy. Fine
View all races Result Odds Compare

Formscan By Gary Carson - There looks more to come from SLANE HILL who opened his account in an 'unplaced' maiden hurdle at Naas just before Christmas. He is open to further improvement on just his fifth career outing and doesn't appear to be harshly treated off a mark of 114 on his handicap debut. The form of his win looks solid enough with the runner-up Yeah Man finishing second again since. Optional Mix comes here in fine form and could be a danger. The Carlotamix mare was a wide margin winner at Limerick last time but has to defy a 12lb hike now. Likewise Emancipator got a hefty rise, of a stone, for his easy win at Fairyhouse in November and is another for the short-list.
