TWO TAFFS is an interesting contender here for a leading stable. The selection hasn't set the world alight over fences thus far with his best effort coming when second at Kempton in December. The addition of tongue tie and cheekpieces is interesting here with a leading Irish jockey booked to ride. Killiney Court represents a trainer who has done well here in the past and has won both chase starts since joining the yard, most recently at Galway in October. Of the remainder Double W's is worth noting upped in trip for a yard who have enjoyed success here in the past while local runner Foxtail Hill is attempting to follow up his success around here in January.
- Two Taffs
- Killiney Court
