FormscanBy Tom Weekes - MR MOONDANCE might be able to complete the hat-trick. He is a well raced type who despite having had 58 career runs, managed to win his last two handicap hurdles at Sligo in August and while raised 8lbs for his latest success, should still prove competitive in this winneable handicap, with trip and ground in his favour. Caridadi is another 9yo and while he was well beaten on his latest flat start, had previously been in good form in handicap hurdles and can go well today. Locally trained All The Angels could also go well as he remains less exposed. He ran a nice race at Tramore recently and notably, both his wins last year came on good ground and over this trip with today's rider able to claim 2lbs.
