PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
Pat Doyle would look to hold the key to this as his LIFETIME AMBITION impressed when winning his sixth open lightweight in good style at Turtulla last month, and he was successful at this venue back in 2023. Stablemate Hunters Yarn had no trouble with the step up in trip when winning easily at Moig South on his debut in this division, and whichever of the pair that Doyle runs in this will be hard to oppose. Toomebridge winner City Chief and the talented mare The Great Unknown are the pick of the dangers to the Suirview Stables duo.
