    Race Analysis

    MINO DES MOTTES (7) left behind an unseat on his flat debut finishing 1. 25L clear of his nearest rival in a 1m3 1/2f event at Senonnes during July. Taken to make a winning hurdling debut racing for a top stable. The experienced WACKESTONE (11) looks a major threat following a 2L second in a 2mf maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse eighteen days ago. SARATOGA (9) demonstrated plenty of ability on the flat including when 3. 5L fifth contesting a valuable handicap over 2mf at Naas on his penultimate start. Strong claims. DIRECT APPROACH (2) placed second tackling 1m1 1/2f at Gowran Park in September. Of note making hurdling debut.
