Race Tip

Point winner THESILVERBRIDLE (8) made a pleasing start under rules when 2. 75L second trying 2m4f at Wexford seventeen days ago. A reproduction of that will see her go close. YOUNG DORAN (6) was on the racecourse for the first time when 6L second at Ballinrobe (2m6 1/2f). Should have learned plenty from that introduction. Shortlist. MAGICAL SAL (7) showed something to work on when 4. 25L away in second over course and distance last month. Confidence buoyed now. Can contend. LYGON LAD (3) returns from a lengthy lay-off on the side-lines for the Gordon Elliott stable. Indicated ability and likely to be well prepared.
