Dan & Joan Moore Memorial Handicap Chase (Grade A)
2m 1f
Going: Soft (Yielding to Soft in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneDUNVEGAN beat Grange Walk to win over C&D in November. He was raised 10lb for making all but meets Grange Walk 3lb better off, with that rival winning well at Leopardstown over Christmas. Grange Walk was raised 7lb for his win, is also without his 5lb claimer, but should still run well. Capuccimix won at Killarney in July and while absent since, today's race is likely to have been his target for some weeks and he has form in similar races last season. Blackbow isn't a fluent jumper but drops in grade for his handicap chase debut and could run well for top connections. Take All was third to Grange Walk at Leopardstown and has place claims, while Poseidon was reported to be post-race normal following a disappointing run here in November but beat Grange Walk at Cork prior. Soviet Pimpernel has been disappointing over fences and is 2lb out of the handicap but as he gains more experience, he could progress enough to win a useful handicap.
