Kate Harrington is one of the more experienced riders in this though her mount Shetland Bus was probably a bit fortunate to win a point at Stradbally when tonight's rival Steelers Appeal fell at the last when just in front. Lisa O'Neill gets the ride on the four-year-old HAMMERSTEIN, who has only raced on heavy going and is the type to improve on better ground so gets the vote in a poor race. Drumhach Thra was beaten a long way into fourth at Punchestown in December though had attracted support so better must have been expected.
