DESERT FRIEND won this race 12 months ago and, despite advancing years, has strong claims of repeating the trick following a number of solid efforts this term. The selection beat all bar Molly Hall here last month and again ran a cracker at Navan last time. Preparations won over 1m4f at Bellewstown last year and successfully switched to hurdles on her reappearance at Limerick this spring. She finished well when runner-up at Gowran earlier this month, with Out On Friday seven lengths behind in fourth. Positive Energy rates a danger if staying this distance, while Spanish John has been raised 10lb for winning at Tipperary last month. |
POSITIVE ENERGY has a small break to overcome but he's won 2 of his last 3 over both codes and has Keane booked suggesting another big run is expected. There is plenty of mileage in his mark on his hurdles form and he ought to relish this longer trip so gets the vote in a good race. The unexposed Fianna is on a good mark on her maiden form and rates a threat back down in distance having been outstayed over 2m last time while Preparations will also be dangerous if allowed an easy time up front. She ran a big race last time having been forced wide throughout and will appreciate this longer distance. |

POSITIVE ENERGY has a small break to overcome but he's won 2 of his last 3 over both codes and has Keane booked suggesting another big run is expected. There is plenty of mileage in his mark on his hurdles form and he ought to relish this longer trip so gets the vote in a good race. The unexposed Fianna is on a good mark on her maiden form and rates a threat back down in distance having been outstayed over 2m last time while Preparations will also be dangerous if allowed an easy time up front. She ran a big race last time having been forced wide throughout and will appreciate this longer distance. |

DESERT FRIEND won this race 12 months ago and, despite advancing years, has strong claims of repeating the trick following a number of solid efforts this term. The selection beat all bar Molly Hall here last month and again ran a cracker at Navan last time. Preparations won over 1m4f at Bellewstown last year and successfully switched to hurdles on her reappearance at Limerick this spring. She finished well when runner-up at Gowran earlier this month, with Out On Friday seven lengths behind in fourth. Positive Energy rates a danger if staying this distance, while Spanish John has been raised 10lb for winning at Tipperary last month. |
