LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): T Carroll (115 wins from 1181 runners, 10%) runs KENTO AND SECOND COLLECTION
TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): J Owen (7 wins from 40 runners, 18%) runs MOONHALL LASS LONGEST TRAVELLER: PHIL’S DREAM trained by J Mcconnell, Ireland.
A chance is taken on CAPTAIN KINSELLA in the hope that the first-time tongue strap helps the 4-y-o to put his best foot forward. Kento is in good form and he’s feared most, while Moonhall Lass is interesting starting out for James Owen.
