In depth
Verdict
If racing gets the go-ahead, conditions will be extreme which shouldn't pose a problem for Duc De Savoie, who was a slightly disappointing favourite here last week but gets a quick chance to put matters right. The ground won't trouble Its Ironic but the distance might as his fine run here last week came over three miles while Mundher's best effort to date at Roscommon last month was on good going. RUN WITH THE WIND, a winning point-to-pointer, comes into this in top form having won on the Flat here last Thursday and he can gain his first success over timber. Owega Star showed real promise in bumpers and is one to note on his hurdling debut.
