At The Races Michael Purcell Memorial Novice Hurdle (Grade 3)

Not easy to rule out any of the seven runners for what should be a competitive affair. TIN SOLDIER got the better of Champagne Classic over a longer trip last time despite being off the track for a long while. That was impressive and there might be more to come from him. The runner-up has since scored impressively at this venue at the beginning of the month and looks sure to play a key role. Indian Monsoon, Ask Nile and Justmemyselfandi are all coming here having won their previous starts, of that trio the last-named looks most promising on his Leopardstown win. Off a short break, Moulin A Vent is another for the shortlist having run well enough behind Death Duty last time. 1. Tin Soldier 2. Champagne Classic 3. Moulin A Vent
