Race Tip

Soldier Of Fortune gelding BULGADEN CASTLE (2) is taken to deliver the first win of his career after finishing 18L third in a 2m3f maiden hurdle at Naas just under six weeks ago. Representing a good stable TOP COEUR (11) looks a major threat on the back of a 26L fourth tackling 2mf at Fairyhouse last month. BLACK GEM (1) played up at the start prior to recording a 30L sixth over 2m4f at Wexford. Strong prospects with the drop in distance to his favour. Yorgunnabelucky gelding CHICHESTER PARK (3) finished 11. 5L fourth in a 2m1f jumpers flat race at Down Royal end of October. Of note revisiting hurdling.
