Runners Spotlight

R21
Somersby Roost
Favorite

First reserve; point-to-point winner has shown glimmers of ability in maidens at 2m-2m4f; yard back in form and worth a market check on handicap debut if getting a run.

Jockey: Trainer: Oliver McKiernan
R22
Stardhem

1
Rockstown Girl

Going okay when brought down on her penultimate start in a Fairyhouse handicap chase but didn't build on that back over hurdles here latest; moving back up in trip a plus and down in grade so not fully discounted.

Jockey: James Smith(5)Trainer: Anthony McCann
2
Saunton Surf

Had some decent form when trained in Britain but hard to fancy on her first two runs for this yard; dropping in grade may help.

Jockey: Mr O McGill(5)Trainer: Gary McGill
3
Aswellasabentley

Ran well in first two handicaps and bounced back from two poor runs with a 2l third of 16 here over 2m1f (soft) on latest; this trip should suit; shortlisted.

Jockey: Keith DonoghueTrainer: Gavin Cromwell
