SURF INSTRUCTOR under leading jockey Rachael Blackmore can land the spoils here following a number of progressive starts over fences since January. The improving seven-year-old can can hold off the attentions of Battling Spirit under Katie Farrell and The Church Gate who was still in contention when running out at Limerick earlier this month. Tinnehinch could go well at a price with the eye catching booking of Lucy Alexander in the plate.
