PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
Ourmanmassini kick-started his campaign by winning this race 12-months ago in what was one of eight victories in open company en route to the champion point-to-point horse title. He could face a much stiffer task this year however, with the presence of GILGAMBOA amongst the entries. The Enda Bolger-trained son of Westerner is a previous Grade 1 winner following success in the 2015 Ryanair Gold Cup and as such sets a very high standard. Eddies Miracle is closely matched with Ourmanmassini on their Kinsale race, whilst Change The Rules, twice a winner on the track during the spring, is another highly capable sort ensuring this looks a very competitive race.
