Runners Spotlight

Reliable Prince
Favorite

Ran respectably in one of his maiden hurdles but at 150-1 he was beaten 36l on his chase debut at Fairyhouse, finishing a good way behind Dr Eggman; one for another day.

Jockey: Mr J L GleesonTrainer: E Bolger
1
Desert Cave

Won over hurdles at a lowly level; tailed off in his previous beginners chase and recent pointing exploits just as discouraging; the hood is new.

Jockey: Conor Stone-WalshTrainer: Ian Patrick Donoghue
2
Dr Eggman

Only 1-9 over hurdles and vastly inferior to stablemate Salvator Mundi in that discipline; his second run over fences was better than the first, beaten about 12l at Fairyhouse (2m1f, yielding); would have a chance if the yard's apparent main hope did fluff his lines.

Jockey: Danny MullinsTrainer: W P Mullins
3
Fishery Lane

One of three runners for the yard; after winning his maiden hurdle over 2m4f he was pulled up in a Grade 1 (3m) and a Listed handicap (2m7f); hasn't got a lot going over fences this season and this trip is on the short side for him.

Jockey: Brian HayesTrainer: W P Mullins
4
Major Wells

A 10yo now; has looked very limited over hurdles and pulling up in two points doesn't bode well ahead of this chase debut; cheekpieces tried.
