In depth

Verdict

Dual hurdles winner Little Haarth makes his handicap debut over fences with a big weight and could find the ground too testing. FLYNSINI landed a Clonmel handicap over this trip by 13 lengths in March, when Larry Capri pulled up, and went up 10lb. He'll be better for his reappearance at Galway and J J Slevin's claim can see him back in the winner's enclosure. Flemenstorm has to be a danger as he's won here and over this trip on heavy ground and he's quite well treated at his best. Winning point-to-pointer Red River Gold has yet to win over regulation fences but his recent form suggests a first victory won't be long in coming. The five-year-old Fitzhenry gave a glimpse of better to come at Naas last time and looks the type to do better.
