FormscanBy Tom Weekes - FLICKER FLAME is the only previous winner here but can defy her penalty and win. She was a useful performer on the flat, attaining a rating in the mid 80s and seems to have taken well to hurdling and ran a solid race in defeat over course and distance last month. She is open to some more progression over hurdles and will be well suited by today's sound surface. Bonarc has run well on her last three bumper starts and contests her third hurdle today. She ran well when second on her latest hurdle race at Ballinrobe in May and should be well capable of giving the selection a real race today with her 7lbs claimer again on board. Miss Aloud is a free-going mare who has shown ability in bumpers and while she did run out once in the past, she could possibly improve for hurdles and can get involved for the placings. Gambling Mistress is a reasonably capable summer hurdler but disappointed a little on her latest start in Kilbeggan in July. She returns from a break now and while she might bump into one or two too strong, will nonetheless appreciate the sound surface. Cornerkova is the first runner from of a bumper/hurdle/chase winning, and well related, dam but is probably best watched on career debut.
