Hurdle/Bumper: Yielding to Soft. Chase: Yielding View all races

Formscan By Tom Weekes - THISCOULDBETHEONE has a more eye-catching name than top-chaser stablemate Fastorslow, with Derek O’Connor being a notable Sunday-booking in a hot Listed bumper. Six of the selection’s siblings were each capable winners including brother City Island, which landed the 2019 Ballymore Hurdle at Cheltenham for today’s same connections. Form-horses Oneinthewell and Eternal Echo are closely matched on a recent Leopardstown form while Light Up The Dark readily beat Scarriff Bridge into second to win at Naas. Carrigmoorna Beech won by 12 lengths at Gowran and will be suited by softening ground. Starting Fifteen is a half-brother to Triumph Hurdle winner Burning Victory.
