City tops International contenders
No additional entries have been received for Saturday’s boylesports.com International after the race was reopened.
The Grade Two contest has drawn just nine entries, headed by last year’s Champion Hurdle winner Brave Inca and Greatwood Hurdle hero Detroit City.
However, Brave Inca looks likely to miss out as he is due to contest tomorrow’s rescheduled Hatton’s Grace Hurdle at Fairyhouse, along with fellow International entries Al Eile and Asian Maze.
Dessie Hughes has entered dual Champion Hurdle winner Hardy Eustace while Howard Johnson has both Arcalis and Mephisto to choose from.
Crow Wood, winner of the Elite Hurdle earlier in the season, and Alan King’s Blazing Bailey complete the line-up.
