PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
The in-form Pat Doyle holds two entries in this race, and of the two, SAMANNTOM looks the one to side with. Third to Bridgets Pet at Largy last time out, has shown good form this season. Doyles other entry, Valco De Touzine has course form in Loughrea having won this open last season, whilst he was well held in October here when A Decent Excuse was successful. The ultra-consistent Final Gift should run close once again and Cavite Beta should also be in the money.
