Pierce Motors Handicap Hurdle
2m 4f
Going: Good to Yielding
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneMatt Smith has his string in fine form and MOONOVERCLOON can add to the stable gains under the trainer's brother, James. The latter guided the six-year-old to a decisive success on his first start of the year at Downpatrick and this trip won't hold any fears for Sea Moon gelding who won a bumper over 2m3f. Rebel Rose was another to return from a long absence when a well-backed winner over 2m4f at Roscommon. She got an 8lb hike for that but is open to more improvement. Ossifer Hops beat a subsequent winner at Downpatrick and there was little wrong with his second on handicap debut at Down Royal. Raised 3lb for that, he's another for the shortlist with the recently-returned Jack Kennedy in the saddle.
