FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Edward O'Grady has a good chance of landing the opener with St Faz and could again be the man to follow here as IRISH PANTHER has some very strong form in the book. He was placed in bumpers behind the likes of Fact to File and Ballyburn and his two placed efforts over hurdles also read well. He returns from a break and appears to have been found a good opportunity as long as he is comfortable on this quicker ground. Point-to-point winner Al Gasparo was runner-up over hurdles for the second time at Tramore last month where he showed he could handle good ground. Sionnach Eile won a premier handicap on the Flat at the Galway festival in 2022 and ran well in the same race last summer. He's a noteworthy hurdling debutant.
