Support The Irish Injured Jockeys Opportunity Handicap Chase
2m 4f
Going: Good (Good to Yielding in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneA competitive affair but It's difficult to desert DIRECT IMAGE who is bidding for her sixth win in-a-row. The Shantou nine-year-old has been given a break since her most recent success at Punchestown in May, with Galway Hurdle winner Liam McKenna a positive jockey booking. Brideswell Lad, like the selection, ideally wants further. A half-brother to Cloth Cap, the locally trained six-year-old won well at Limerick on his most recent start and looks capable of further progress. The Great White was unlucky to lose a race in the stewards room at Kilbeggan last month and he might be able to gain compensation now. Ballinrobe winner Galon De Vauzelle makes his handicap debut over fences and warrants respect, while Malina Girl, She Tops The Lot and Lake Chad are others for the shortlist.
