Handicap | Flat | 5f 180y
Going: Heavy
Gegenpressing
GEGENPRESSING returns on a good mark and might be worth chancing in a race where compelling claims are thin on the ground. Exceeding rates an obvious danger on the back of his good Naas reappearance, while Billy Lee could be the man to get the best out of Happy Henry, who was runner-up over C&D last year.

Just 1-27 overall but he was a good second of 15 on his Naas reappearance 8 days ago.

Remains a maiden after 29 starts. Ninth of 12 in handicap at Dundalk (6f) 17 days ago.
