PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
The highlight on the card has attracted a number of cross-country specialists and it is hard to get away from those horses that have proven themselves to be experts in the division over the banks in Lingstown. VITAL ISLAND has won no fewer than four times there and was a shade unfortunate not to add to his tally there in November when paying the price for setting a very strong gallop which saw him overhauled by the re-opposing Loggan Lady who is herself a two-time winner over the banks in Lingstown. De Nordener hails from a yard that excels in these races but he has 21 lengths to find with Vital Island from the Ladies Cup at the Punchestown Festival.
