    Race Analysis

    SLADE STEEL (11) returned to action finishing 1. 5L second in a 2m4 1/2f beginners chase at Navan earlier this month. Selected to break through for his first win over fences. Representing a top stable BALLYGUNNER CASTLE (2) rates a major threat arriving here on the back of a 1. 5L second in a 2m7f beginners contest at this circuit. JIGORO (7) enters calculations stepping up in distance returning to fences following a 16L fifth attempting a 2mf hurdle at this venue. ARGENTO BOY (1) fell four from home in the previously mentioned course event just under three weeks ago. Of note on previous hurdling ability demonstrated.
