PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
Sam Curling was successful in an open around here seven days ago with Wonderwall, and the stable could repeat the feat a week on courtesy of WRAPPEDUPINMAY. He looked set to play a leading role in the finish of the Joseph OReilly at Fairyhouse on Easter Sunday when departing three-out whilst in a share of the lead. A winner around here earlier in the campaign, he can return to winning ways here. His stablemate, The Great Unknown, and the Ian McCarthy-trained Hearts And Spades are currently locked on six winners each at the top of the leading point-to-pointing standings, whilst Fountain House and the improving Sir Topham Hatt are others on winning runs of late.
