Irish Stallion Farms EBF Rated Novice Chase
2m 5f
Going: Soft (Yielding to Soft in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneSHOPPING AROUND has a nice weight in this and may be able to add another chase win to her CV. The Doyen mare has been running over shorter trips and, as a former point-to-point winner, there may be scope for a bit more improvement now over this distance. She won at Clonmel on her penultimate start before a solid effort to finish third at the same venue last month and is just 1lb higher now. Millen To One is another who comes here in good form and could be the danger. He bumped into an easy winner when chasing home Siberian Star at Leopardstown recently but it was a good effort and, off the same mark, he's entitled to go well again. Farceur Du Large has been running in some decent beginners chases and it will be interesting to see how he fares on what is effectively his handicap debut.
