PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
A DECENT EXCUSE will look to extend his unbeaten run this season to four victories on the bounce in this competitive contest. The obvious dangers are Dantes King and Velvet Maker. Dantes King was likely not suited by how the race was run at Ballinaboola last time out and is capable of upsetting the selection as he proved at Tinahely, whilst Velvet Maker will make his debut for an in-form yard and he was quietly fancied for the Grand Annual at the Cheltenham Festival in March. Western Man, BL Swagger and Two Rockers complete the other possible dangers in a competitive affair.
