BoyleSports Novice Handicap Chase (Grade B)
2m
Going: Yielding (Good to Yielding in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneYUKON LIL has some very good form in mares races and may not be badly treated on her handicap debut here despite carrying top-weight. She comes here after a confidence boosting win over timber at Limerick a week ago. Her form over fences previously was good, finishing third to stable-mate Elimay at Naas in the Opera Hat Chase while she had also beaten a couple of good mares when winning her beginners chase at Cork back in November. She had Grade 2 winner Scarlet And Dove and Kim Muir winner Mount Ida in behind then. Epson Du Houx was running a big race against Scarlet And Dove in a Grade 3 at Navan when falling last month and he is another of interest back in handicap company. There are several recent winners in the field and the likes of Jungle Junction, Donkey Years and Steer Clear have claims.
