FormscanBy Tom Weekes - PEREGRINE RUN is a capable performer and might prove good enough to win here on his first run following a break. He has been doing most of his racing over fences in recent times but his most recent hurdles outing saw him finish second to useful Woodland Opera at Down Royal last August and a reproduction of that effort would give him every chance today, as he receives weight from both Scarpeta and Robbin'hannon. Scarpeta is also a capable performer at this level and while he ran another solid race when beaten just 11L in the Coral Cup at Cheltenham, that was just 10 days ago and he now meets Robbin'hannon, whom he beat 8L at Clonmel in December on 5lbs worse terms. Robbin'hannon has his first start for 85 days and looks likely to get involved today having run well enough in a useful handicap at Leopardstown over Christmas on his latest start. Former Grade 1 winner Prince Of Scars is tried in first-time cheek-pieces today, hardly a positive, and he needs to show a little more that when sixth in the Red Mills Hurdle in January. Sandymount Duke has been an excellent servant but needs to show more that at Naas latest.
