Race Tip

GAMEBALL (4) returns after five months. Already shown he can fire fresh with a maiden hurdle win here tackling track and trip to open the previous campaign. That profile makes him a key runner. NADIA'S BOY (6) also resumes after a break and his fresh record is strong. Last campaign secured a Listowel maiden hurdle success and he looks capable of making his presence felt again. LEADER D'ALLIER (5) was not disgraced among Grade 2 company at Fairyhouse last time and this is a more suitable test. TECHNO DAVIS (8) won on debut in the pointing field at Kirkistown and with that experience behind him might feature again.
