FormscanBy Michael Graham - WORKFORADIME was placed over staying trips at Down Royal and Thurles when last seen in November and has a shot of returning with a victory as she's not on a bad mark. Fameaftertheglory seems to be all about staying these days. He doesn't win often, but has the ability to do so in this company as he just gets in off a mark of 109 and Conor Stone-Walsh takes 5lb off his back. Tankardstown Diva is up in trip and class after obliging over 2m6f at Down Royal. The handicapper didn't miss that performance as he has tacked on 11lb, but she is an in-form mare from a red-hot stable. Hunting Brook has had a break since being pulled up at Doncaster in January. He did win his first two starts for Gordon Elliott, but may prefer the ground slower.
An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards (109 = 12st)Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
