Race Tip

CAPTAIN HANLEY (3) made a promising start to his hurdling career when 2. 25L second at Clonmel. Was leading before unseating his rider seven-days-ago at Kilbeggan. Steps up in trip and can make amends with a bold bid. Gordon Elliott-trained LE QUESTIONNAIRE (6) has been knocking on the door with consecutive second placed finishes at Tramore and Downpatrick. The longer journey here looks to suit. Key player. JERRY FROM KERRY (5) has not been disgraced in two outings for Paul John Gilligan. Well-fancied last time and of interest if popular again. WILL WILDE (11) pulled-up providing seasonal debut at the track.
