Formscan By Shane Redmond - PRESS THE BUTTON (3) shaped up well on his jumping debut at Ballinrobe in late May and could take all the beating this time. He was no match in second place for strong favourite The Store Boy on his first try over hurdles but it was a fair effort from the six-year-old who was a bumper winner at Thurles in October of last year. Highland Realm was a long odds-on favourite when a narrow runner-up in a bumper at Tramore last August and he is likely to go well again as is the more experienced Wackestone who goes back over hurdles after taking third place in a charity race at the Curragh on Derby weekend.

A hurdle for four years old and upwards, maidens at starting
Weights - 4-y-o 11st 8lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 12lbs. Mares allowed 7lbs.
